OQ starts of production of the ammonia project in the Governorate of Dhofar in Oman. This ammonia plant is one of the key strategic projects fully owned by OQ with an investment of $463 million and has a designed capacity of 1,000 metric tonnes per day (MTPD) of ammonia.
OQ Trading, the Group’s trading arm also announced the export of the first shipment of the liquid ammonia from the plant through Salalah Port.
This plant is fully integrated with the existing 1 million tonnes per year capacity Methanol plant which will enable OQ Group to rationalize the cost and optimize performance and production efficiency. The new Ammonia plant has been designed to retain the hydrogen-rich purge gas generated by the methanol plant as feedstock for the Ammonia plant.
Ammonia is also used in the production of green hydrogen which is a key component of OQ Energy Transition agenda.
