Building the Future in Victoria, TX

First Ammonia’s Flagship Facility

The Port of Victoria in Texas is the perfect site for First Ammonia’s flagship facility thanks to our amazing local partners, well-developed infrastructure, and rich solar and wind resources.  

First Ammonia’s flagship facility will help Victoria become the hub for cutting-edge, electric ammonia production.

Global Head of Project Development Lee Raymond puts up the public notice signage at the Victoria site. 

The Perfect Project Site

The Port of Victoria site is over 35 miles inland along the Victoria Barge Canal, protecting it from adverse weather events, while allowing efficient transportation of ammonia on barges along the Intracoastal Waterway to nearby deepwater ports.

Texas’ Renewable Energy Leadership

Texas boasts the fastest renewable energy growth in the United States, giving the Lone Star State a competitive edge over all others when it comes to electric ammonia. Strong solar and wind resources in Texas create valuable, around-the-clock renewable energy. There really is no better place to build an electric ammonia plant than in Texas.

Our Partners in Victoria

First Ammonia understands that success depends on working together.

Among multiple other site criteria, we chose Victoria for the invaluable partnerships we found with the Port of Victoria and the Victoria Economic Development Corporation (VEDC).

Both the Port and the VEDC are hugely supportive and provide a local perspective so important for the project.

First Ammonia formally became a member of the VEDC in
December 2024 to support continued economic growth in Victoria.

Making sure every member of the First Ammonia team – whether based in Texas, New York, Denmark or in Germany – visits Victoria and gets to know the community is so important.

Our Commitment to Victoria

As the project advances from its development phase toward the start of construction in 2025, we look forward to strengthening our ties with the Victoria community. This includes working with Victoria College to support educational programs there. First Ammonia wants to help prepare the community to take advantage of the jobs created in the electric ammonia industry.
