Total Eren and German gas company VNG are joining forces in relation to green ammonia imports in Europe.
The partners have signed a cooperation agreement concerning the import of green hydrogen in the form of ammonia from Total Eren’s green hydrogen projects worldwide and its sale to the German and European markets from 2028 onwards.
Through their cooperation, both companies are committed to making a significant contribution to the supply of carbon-neutral energy in Germany and Europe.
VNG and its subsidiaries are planning the construction of a hydrogen and carbon hub in the Rostock area and therefore will be adding value locally and regionally in East Germany.
Total Eren is working on several large-scale green hydrogen projects globally, including in South America, Africa, and Australia.
With intrinsic low costs of power generation, these projects will aim to deliver clean and reliable energy globally in the form of green hydrogen or its derivatives.
At the end of 2021, Total Eren secured land positions and launched feasibility studies in order to build a large-scale green hydrogen project in Chile’s Magallanes region.
The H2 Magallanes Project will consist of up to 10GW of wind turbines in Chile and will generate 800,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, which will be partially transported by ship from Patagonia to Germany as green ammonia.
VNG H&V, the trading and sales subsidiary of VNG, and Total Eren’s cooperation will enable VNG to offtake the green ammonia on the German coast and make it available to its customers directly or in the form of hydrogen from 2028 onwards.
