The project will harness the Territory's exceptional solar resources, abundant land, and government-enabled infrastructure to produce and export green ammonia through a phased development approach, commencing with 500 Ktpa and scaling to 4.7 Mtpa across four phases.
Project Sol
Location:
Northern Territory, Australia
Capacity:
Up to 4.7 Mtpa green ammonia (over 4 phases)
Power Source:
Behind the meter solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Project Status:
Pre-FEED
Target First Production:
~2031 (subject to approvals and final investment decision)
Project Sol is a proposed large-scale green ammonia project strategically located in the Northern Territory.
Awarded Commonwealth Major Project Status, Project Sol is designed to play a transformational role in establishing the Territory as a major renewable energy exporter while contributing significantly to regional economic growth and global decarbonisation efforts.

“Project Sol represents a transformational opportunity for the Northern Territory's economy, for Australia's position in the global energy transition, and for demonstrating that green ammonia can be produced at scale and cost-competitively."— Scott Criddle, Energy North CEO & Founder
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Scale & Capacity
Commencing with 500 Ktpa, designed to scale to 4.7 Mtpa of green ammonia through phased development aligned with market demand and customer commitments
Innovation
Features long-distance hydrogen transmission with integrated storage capabilities, addressing renewable energy intermittency. By transporting molecules rather than electrons, the project avoids overhead transmission infrastructure entirely. The project will utilise underground pipeline infrastructure with integrated hydrogen storage, enabling continuous ammonia production while minimising surface land requirements and environmental impacts.
Strategic Location
Capitalises on the Northern Territory's superior solar resources in the Barkly region, extensive available land, and proximity to key Asian markets for globally competitive production costs.
Government Support
Strong government support at Commonwealth and Territory levels. Project Sol has been granted Commonwealth Major Project Status, aligns with Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy and the Northern Territory's ambition to become a leading renewable energy exporter. The project's development is coordinated with key government-led initiatives including the Middle Arm Precinct and Territory Energy Link corridor.
Export Pathways
Establishing foundation customer relationships across Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Europe to ensure clear demand pathways and inform project design to meet market requirements for Australian green ammonia.
Sustainability
Committed to working in partnership with Traditional Owners and local communities to protect cultural heritage while delivering economic participation opportunities. The project prioritises minimising environmental impacts through strategic site selection and sensitive infrastructure design.
Experienced Team
Led by a management team with over 300 years of combined experience delivering major energy and infrastructure projects across Australia, including in remote and challenging locations.
