Sasol and ITOCHU to partner on green ammonia and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 5, 2022

Green ammonia is produced from green hydrogen, which in turn is produced from renewable electricity (solar and wind) via an electrolysis process. MUFG Bank Ltd, one of the largest Financial Institutions in the world, and a market leader in sustainable financing solutions, witnessed the signing of the MoU.

Wind, solar and biofuels are expected to be the fastest-growing energy sources, increasing about 6% a year on average through 2040, when they will be approaching 4% of global energy demand. By 2040, natural gas is expected to account for more than a quarter of global energy use, surpassing coal in the overall mix.
