South Africa : nearly 6 billion USD to dominate the African green ammonia market

The South African government will invest USD 5.8 billion to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia per year at Coega, on the country’s east coast, from the end of 2029. This project will help reduce production costs to USD 650 per tonne, compared with around USD 760 on international markets.

South Africa thus intends to dominate the African market for this product, dominated by Morocco, Namibia and Egypt.
