Tecnicas Reunidas Awarded FEED Contract for Green Ammonia Facility in Saudi Arabia

Tecnicas Reunidas (TR), in collaboration with Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering, has secured a convertible FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) contract from ACWA Power for the development of a giga-scale green ammonia project in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.

Key Highlights of Tecnicas Reunidas FEED Contract of Saudi Arabia:

  • Project Location: Yanbu, Saudi Arabia
  • Client: ACWA Power
  • Partners: Tecnicas Reunidas (Spain) and Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering (China)
  • Contract Type: Convertible Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
  • Green Hydrogen Production Capacity: 400,000 tons/year
  • Electrolysis Power: 4 GW
  • Target Completion: By 2030
  • Contract Duration: 10 months
  • Future Scope: EPC proposal post-FEED

The ambitious facility will produce 400,000 tons per year of green hydrogen powered by 4 GW of electrolysis, which will then be converted into green ammonia using multiple ammonia synthesis loops.

GIGANE GREEN AMMONIA FACILITY

The project includes comprehensive balance of plant systems, utilities, seawater desalination, and a dedicated export terminal to support international trade.

🔹 Note: The renewable energy generation (solar and wind) that will power the electrolysers is not part of this FEED contract scope, though it remains a critical component of the overall project.

This contract will be executed over a 10-month period, after which TR and its partner are expected to submit an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) proposal for the full-scale execution of the facility. Once awarded, this multibillion-dollar infrastructure is targeted for commercial operation by 2030.

Tecnicas Reunidas has already been engaged in pre-FEED activities for this project, ensuring continuity in design and execution.

The successful delivery of this FEED is expected to serve as a gateway for TR to lead one of the world’s largest green hydrogen-to-ammonia projects, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the global shift towards carbon-free fuels.
