ATOME has announced that it has selected Sungrow Hydrogen as its electrolyser supplier for the flagship 260 000 tpy low-carbon fertilizer project at Villeta, Paraguay.
Following a rigorous competitive tender process managed by CASALE SA, ATOME's EPC partner for the Villeta Project, ATOME has selected Sungrow Hydrogen as the electrolyser technology partner for the Villeta Project. Sungrow Hydrogen is a globally leading supplier of electrolysers.
The Villeta Project will deploy 110 MW of Sungrow's proven alkaline electrolyser technology, powered by 100% renewable baseload hydropower from the Itaipu Dam, to produce the green hydrogen required for the production of 260 000 tpy of low-carbon calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) fertilizer. The supply will be complemented by a Long-Term Service Agreement to provide maintenance support for the equipment.
The selection of Sungrow as the electrolyser partner at Villeta marks the start of what ATOME and Sungrow expect to be a long-term strategic partnership with further cooperation on other projects already in discussion.
The strategic partnership with Sungrow, as well as the direct investment in ATOME's share capital by CASALE and Baker Hughes, reflects the company's strategy to be able to offer new projects and investments a one-stop-shop solution complemented by ATOME's excellent relations with its funding partners in Villeta.
