China National Chemical Engineering & Construction Corporation Seven (CC7) has been awarded the contract to design and build the world’s largest green ammonia plant in Namibia.
The deal with Hyphen Hydrogen Energy includes Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts.
The signing was witnessed by China Chemical Chairman Mo Dingge and Hyphen CEO Marco Raffinetti.
The US$10 billion project will use 3GW of renewable energy to produce 2.4 million tonnes of green ammonia annually.
Hyphen is a joint venture between Germany’s Enertrag and UK-based Nicholas Holdings.
The Namibian government acquired a 24% stake in the company in late 2024.
CC7 will lead the design and construction.
“Together with Haifen Hydrogen, the two sides will deepen cooperation, give full play to their respective advantages, and promote the smooth implementation of the benchmark renewable energy project,” said Longhai, Chairman of China Chemical Seven.
Once completed, the facility is expected to contribute more than 80% to Namibia’s GDP. It will create an estimated 15,000 jobs during construction and 3,000 permanent roles once operational.
