Proton and the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) have signed
an agreement to construct a demonstration-sized ammonia production
plant at OCP’s
existing manufacturing complex in Jorf Lasfar. The 4
tonne per day plant will be powered via an electrical load emulator,
simulating the profiles of wind and solar generation at different
geographical sites. Alkaline and PEM electrolysers will be installed
side-by-side. The partners intend the facility to act as a “world
reference unit”, and will use the trial results to develop large-scale
industrial projects.
The
specificity of this pilot is that it will be dedicated to research,
training and production. On the one hand, it will constitute a living
laboratory available to UM6P Researchers, Doctoral Students and
Professors for research and education in the fields of hydrogen and
green ammonia, on the other hand, for our industrial partners at OCP,
it will be a pilot for training and feasibility studies for a large
industrial unit of Green Ammonia.
