ACWA Power to develop green hydrogen, ammonia projects in Uzbekistan

The projects are a first for Uzbekistan.

Saudi Arabia-based ACWA Power signed an agreement with Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy and state-owned chemical firm Uzkimyosanoat to build the Central Asian country’s first green hydrogen and green ammonia projects.

In a statement, ACWA Power said the first green hydrogen project will be an integrated facility connected to an existing ammonia plant in Chirchiq. The project, which is targeted to start operating by December 2024, is expected to generate 3,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

They will also study the feasibility of developing a 500,000-tonne green ammonia facility which is expected to reduce Uzbekistan’s natural gas use by 600 million cubic metres a year. The study will conclude by the end of 2024.

The project is seen to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 million tonnes yearly.

ACWA Power has five existing projects in Uzbekistan involving four wind projects and a combined gas cycle turbine facility.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
