Petrogas and Bio3Energy target 625,000 tonnes of green ammonium nitrate
Oman's Petrogas E&P and Italy's Bio3Energy Srl will introduce green ammonium nitrate as a new downstream product in Oman, aimed at the fertiliser and mining sectors. The project targets 625,000 tonnes annually by 2032.
It will use about 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year, produced from 1.16 GW of renewable capacity on a 100-square-kilometre site. The agreement includes a proposed reservation of another 100 square kilometres for expansion.
