ExxonMobil has signed a long-term offtake agreement to supply 250,000 tonnes of hydrogen-based ammonia to Japan’s Marubeni Corporation.
The blue ammonia will be supplied to Kobe Power Plant in Hyogo prefecture, Japan, operated by a fully owned subsidiary of Kobe Steel. From 2030, the plant aims to co-fire low-carbon ammonia with existing fuel to reduce CO2 emissions.
