Cleanergy Solutions Namibia is finalising the engineering design of a N$5-billion ammonia storage tank at the Port of Walvis Bay, a key step in its plan to establish Namibia as a regional export hub for clean fuels.
CMB.TECH chief technology officer Roy Campe says the company has completed all safety, environmental and technical studies for the project and holds an environmental clearance certificate.
“At the moment, we are finalising the engineering designs for building an ammonia storage tank at the Port of Walvis Bay. There, we already have an environmental clearance certificate achieved, and we’re engaging with the Namibian Ports Authority (Namport) to finalise the latest deals,” Campe says.
The planned storage tank will have a capacity of 55 000 tonnes and will enable large-scale ammonia exports while supplying ships with clean fuel.
Campe says the project, valued at around N$5 billion, is crucial for scaling up Namibia’s hydrogen and ammonia export capability.
Construction is expected to begin next year once final agreements with Namport are concluded.
“We can start on the construction of a big ammonia tank, which is necessary to be able to export, but also to bring the molecules to port ships,” he says.
