Key Takeaways
- Over 200,000 normal cubic metres of hydrogen per hour is the stated production capacity of the two reformers.
- Dangote awarded Spain’s Técnicas Reunidas the equipment contract for its Gode ammonia and urea complex.
- Three million tonnes annually is the fertilizer plant’s planned urea production capacity.
- Ethiopian natural gas is intended to support domestic fertilizer supply and reduce import-related foreign-exchange spending.
- Design, procurement, manufacture and free-on-board supply fall within Técnicas Reunidas’ contract scope.
- 18 months is the maximum equipment supply period stated by the company.
