As disclosed, the project includes photovoltaic and wind farms, electrolyzers, a green ammonia plant, and supporting infrastructure such as water desalination, energy storage, and logistics for export. The total estimated CAPEX reportedly amounts to $1.5 billion.
Hynfra revealed that the plant will be located in the southern zone of the Somelec wind farm, with exports carried out through Mauritania’s largest port, Port de l’Amitié.
Tomoho Umeda, General Director of Mauritania Green Ammonia (MGA) and President of Hynfra, commented: “Mauritania, thanks to the combination of high solar irradiation and strong, stable winds, has some of the best conditions in the world for the development of renewable energy. Combined with a century of Polish experience in ammonia synthesis, this creates a unique opportunity to build a project of global significance.”
To note, this framework agreement follows the memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked in 2024. As per Hynfra, it constitutes “a major stage in moving ahead with an investment that will bring together Mauritania’s outstanding renewable resources with proven technology to establish a new benchmark in green ammonia production.”
