India-headquartered ACME Cleantech Solutions has entered into a contract with China's Arctech to supply 175 MWp (Megawatt peak) of solar trackers for the solar component of its 300 MTPD (Metric Tonnes Per Day) Green Ammonia Project in Duqm, Oman.

According to a press statement from Arctech, the trackers will be delivered in phases beginning July 2025. The company will deploy its Skyline II 1P single-axis solar tracking system, which is specifically engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, for the project.

The statement further explained that the green ammonia project is situated near the southeastern coast of Oman, an area characterised by coastal desert conditions, including sandy soils, high wind speeds reaching up to 55 m/s, C5-level corrosion exposure, extreme temperatures, and high levels of solar radiation with an annual average of approximately 5,764 KWh/m². The high solar insolation in this region has made it an ideal location for utility-scale solar projects.

In June 2023, ACME had announced securing a loan worth 40 billion Indian rupees from REC, one of India’s largest green infrastructure financial institutions, to support its green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Oman.

The company had also stated that the first phase of the facility is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, with plans to expand production to 1.2 million tonnes per annum.
