According to Jiandao.com, the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan’s Toyota Co., Ltd. to evaluate opportunities for producing blue ammonia in Egypt.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan stated in a statement on September 14, 2021 that it will use Japan's latest technology to carry out economic feasibility studies and use the best opportunities in the petroleum industry to implement projects to extract and store carbon dioxide to produce blue ammonia. The cooperation between Egyptian Gas Holding Company (EGAS), Egyptian Petrochemical Holding Company (ECHEM) and Toyota Tsukuba will explore opportunities for ammonia production.

According to Argus Media, ensuring the safety of cleaner fuels such as blue ammonia and hydrogen is a key part of Japan’s efforts to achieve social decarbonization by 2050. Blue ammonia is made of hydrogen, which is regarded as the key to the global energy transition, because only water vapor is released from hydrogen during combustion. Converting hydrogen to ammonia can make charging easier.
