QAFCO 7 Ammonia Plant
The world’s largest Blue Ammonia Plant, with a production capacity of 3,500 metric tons per day, is scheduled for completion in 2026.
The facility will utilize uhde® ammonia technology to construct a single-line system with a record-breaking capacity of 1.2 million metric tons per annum. This makes it the largest blue ammonia production facility globally, setting a new benchmark in low-carbon hydrogen derivatives and reinforcing Qatar’s commitment to sustainable industrial innovation.
- Global Benchmark: As the largest facility of its kind, QAFCO 7 sets a new global standard for blue ammonia production, reinforcing Qatar’s leadership in sustainable energy innovation.
- Carbon Reduction: Blue ammonia is produced by capturing and storing CO₂ emissions generated during conventional ammonia synthesis. This significantly reduces carbon footprint, making it a key enabler in the global transition to low-carbon fuels.
- Energy Transition Catalyst: The project aligns with QatarEnergy’s sustainability strategy, which aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions across the country by 2035. Blue ammonia offers a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels like LNG, supporting decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, power generation, and heavy industry.
- Technological Excellence: The use of uhde® technology ensures high efficiency, reliability, and scalability, making QAFCO 7 a model for future clean energy infrastructure worldwide.
