Norway\u2019s ECOnnect Energy is a key partner in Project Green, an ambitious initiative led by Alternative Petroleum & Power Limited (APPL) to establish itself as a leading supplier of clean e-fuels.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur focus remains steadfast on delivering innovative, sustainable energy solutions and contributing to the socio-economic growth of the region,\u201d said Morten A. Christophersen, CEO at ECOnnect.<\/p>\n
E-fuel exports<\/strong><\/p>\n Situated on an extensive 300-hectare site in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, Project Green represents a significant leap in energy diversification and the advancement of local content development in the region.<\/p>\n ECOnnect Energy is a Norwegian company assisting the energy and maritime markets with jettyless IQuay floating transfer terminals.<\/p>\n The IQuay solution features a game-changing floating jettyless system for loading, discharge and bunkering of LNG, ammonia and carbon capture and storage without the need for invasive, time-and cost-intensive fixed marine infrastructure. <\/p>\n ECOnnect Energy is set to facilitate the marine-based export of 520,000 metric tonnes per annum of renewable (blue and green) methanol and 1,120,000 metric tonnes per annum of green ammonia, marking a substantial contribution to the project\u2019s commitment to sustainable energy and reducing dependency on imported fossil fuels.<\/p>\n The first phase of the project harnesses the power of local renewable hydropower and natural gas, aiming to produce blue methanol and of green methanol for export.<\/p>\n The e-methanol will be produced in a state-of-the-art 484 Mwe combined cycle power plant with advanced postcombustion CO2 capture, embodying the sustainable and circular approach to fuel production being championed by the project.<\/p>\n The subsequent phase will focus on the production of green ammonia.<\/p>\n Project Green is not just an energy project; it\u2019s a commitment to substantial civil infrastructure development, including the construction of a hydropower dam, a 200MW connection to the Nigerian National Grid and top-tier methanol and ammonia production facilities.<\/p>\n Its goal is to become fully operational by January 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0ECOnnect IQuay C-class System has been chosen to ensure\u00a0the environmentally-sound export of methanol and green ammonia produced at an e-fuel production site in Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4079,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72,7],"tags":[289,264,1414,1424,489,327,1425,573,47],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa-greenport","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","tag-africa","tag-bunkering","tag-e-fuels","tag-econnect","tag-green-ammonia","tag-infrastructure","tag-jettyless-terminal","tag-marine-civils","tag-methanol"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4078"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4078\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4080,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4078\/revisions\/4080"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4078"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
