Sungrow Ships 160MW Electrolysers for ACME’s Green Ammonia Project in Oman

Oman is set to strengthen its green hydrogen footprint as Sungrow Hydrogen, a subsidiary of China’s Sungrow, has shipped 160MW of alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) units for ACME Group’s green ammonia project in Duqm.

The shipment follows a supply agreement inked in January 2025, covering multiple 1,000 Nm³/h alkaline hydrogen production units and flexible green hydrogen systems. The first phase aims to generate about 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, around 300 tonnes per day, with commissioning slated by the end of 2026, according to local reports.

Project progress is already past the halfway mark, with engineering finalised, synthesis loop licenses obtained, electrolysers ordered, and civil works for pipelines descending approximately 90 metres to the sea completed.

ACME secured a 15-year binding offtake agreement with Norwegian fertiliser giant Yara in March 2024 for the first phase’s output and financing of INR 4,000 crore from India’s state-owned green infrastructure lender REC in July 2023.

The multi-phase project could ultimately reach 1.2 million tonnes per year of green ammonia production, supported by roughly 3.5GW of electrolyser capacity and 5.5 GWp of solar generation. Development agreements signed with Oman’s OPAZ and Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom) in May 2025 cover the second and third phases, spanning 80 square kilometres and targeting 71,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia per phase.

With nine green hydrogen projects now awarded by Hydrom across Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates, Oman’s total investment exceeds USD 50 billion, aiming for 1.5 million tonnes annual green hydrogen production by 2030 powered by nearly 35 GW of renewable energy.
