$2bn EPC contracts awarded to expand TA’ZIZ low-carbon chemicals hub

The UAE’s TA’ZIZ chemicals hub has awarded over $2bn in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts to develop key site infrastructure, including a blue hydrogen-based ammonia export facility.

NMDC Group has secured the EPC contract for the chemicals port, which will provide a location to export low-carbon fuels produced by TA’ZZ in Al Ruwais Industrial City.

H2 View understands the port will enable exports from the TA’ZIZ 1 million tonnes per annum ammonia production facility being constructed by Tecnimont ahead of its 2027 operations. Initially, the ammonia will be produced with 50% lower carbon intensity and carbon capture and sequestration will begin in the second phase.

The chemicals terminal contract, which includes the development of storage facilities, pipelines, and liquid product storage, was awarded to a partnership consisting of Advario and Rotary Engineering-Abu Dhabi.
