South Africa: Hive Hydrogen Invites Proposals for $5.8B Green Ammonia Project
Renewable energy company Hive Hydrogen South African has issued requests for proposals to develop the $5.8 billion Coega Green Ammonia project in the Eastern Cape province.
The project, situated near Gqeberha, aims to produce over one million tons of green ammonia annually using renewable energy from a 1,430 MW solar PV cluster and 1,879 MW of wind power.
The plant will include seawater abstraction, desalination, demineralization facilities, storage for 70,000 tons of green ammonia and two 7km pipelines for product transport.
A final investment decision is anticipated in Q3 2026, with production expected to start by 2029. 15 engineering procurement and construction firms have been shortlisted to develop the project.
The project is a joint venture between global green company Hive Energy and investment and development firm BuiltAfrica Group. Green ammonia produced from the project is targeted primarily at export markets such as Japan and South Korea.
