Hynfra and Fidelity Group plan to build a 120,000-ton-per-year green ammonia facility at Jordan’s Red Sea port.

Poland’s Hynfra and Jordan’s Fidelity Group have signed a binding investment agreement to develop a 120,000-ton-per-year green ammonia plant in Aqaba, establishing one of the Middle East’s most advanced green ammonia projects. The joint venture will supply European customers seeking low-carbon ammonia for fertilizer production and new energy applications. Jordan’s Council of Ministers approved the agreement earlier this year, providing regulatory support, and Denmark’s Topsoe is leading front-end engineering and design (FEED).

The facility will use renewable electricity to power electrolysis for hydrogen production, which will then be combined with atmospheric nitrogen to produce green ammonia. Aqaba’s location offers direct access to the Red Sea and European markets, creating an export corridor that avoids the Persian Gulf while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted. Although a construction timeline has not been announced, the project expands Hynfra’s green ammonia portfolio, which includes developments in Egypt, Mauritania, and Ukraine. The company has identified financing costs as a key challenge for project execution.
