Novatek, RWE to mull ammonia, hydrogen shipments from Obsky GCC

MOSCOW, Dec 7 (PRIME) -- Russian gas producer Novatek and Germany's RWE have signed a memorandum to consider supplies of blue ammonia and hydrogen from the Obsky Gas Chemical Complex (GCC) planned to be built on the Yamal Peninsula, RWE said in a statement Tuesday.

"The memorandum of understanding envisages the supply of low-carbon ammonia and hydrogen by Novatek to RWE. Novatek, the largest independent producer of natural gas in Russia, is conducting a pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) study for blue ammonia and hydrogen production in the Yamal region, which will include carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities,” the statement read.

“The fuel is to be produced at Novatek’s planned Obskiy Gas Chemical Complex project and will be delivered to RWE and its customers in Germany and other European markets."

The companies also agreed to extend cooperation in supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG), including a low- and zero carbon footprint.
