As Europe faces growing challenges from high energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty, the need for a resilient, reliable, and sustainable energy supply has never been more urgent. To support this transition, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT), in collaboration with leading industry partners, is proud to present the report: Design and Safety Aspects for large-scale Clean Ammonia Pipelines.
About the Report
The project explores the design, technical, and safety considerations of a 550 km ammonia pipeline, comparable to the proposed Delta Rhine Corridor linking the Netherlands and Germany. With a potential transport capacity of 7 million tonnes of ammonia per year (equivalent to 1 million tonnes of hydrogen), the pipeline would be a vital component in Europe’s clean energy infrastructure.
Key elements of the study include:
- Long-distance pipeline transport through both rural and urban areas
- Booster pump and valve station designs
- Integration with import/export terminals
- Risk management and safety protocols for large-scale ammonia transport
Project Partners
This project is a collaborative effort involving some of the leading stakeholders in the energy transition, including Aramco Europe, Chane Terminals, EnBW, Equinor, Fluxys, Gasunie, Shell, Port of Rotterdam and OCI.
Technical support was provided by DNV, an independent consultancy.
