Ammonia produced at BASF’s Ludwigshafen site will be consumed at OCI’s Geleen fertilizers manufacturing complex.
The pair are in advanced negotiations to cement a partnership that will de-risk and progress two key production projects: the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex in the USA, and NEOM in Saudi Arabia.
INPEX has officially opened the Kashiwazaki Hydrogen Park, featuring a CCUS-based hydrogen and ammonia demonstration plant. The project is focused on local customers for each of the facility’s products: hydrogen, electricity, and ammonia.
Following the publication of the AEA’s new report on ammonia gas detection, members of the task force that developed the report joined experts and AEA staff for a launch webinar. We discussed the key takeaways from the report, must-knows and first steps for deploying ammonia gas detection, common misconceptions, and the challenges ahead for effectively utilizing ammonia gas detection in new ammonia energy applications.
China-based FZU Zijin has unveiled two applications for its proprietary ammonia cracking technology: a newly-opened ammonia-to-hydrogen vehicle refueling station, and a coastal vessel powered by an internal combustion engine, fed with cracked ammonia fuel.
A new multi-year partnership between the two parties will see Samsung Heavy Industries manufacture Amogy’s ammonia-to-power systems in South Korea for distributed clean energy generation based on ammonia-cracking technology.
GreenGo Energy and SELECT Energy have signed a strategic partnership to develop a 4 million tons per year renewable ammonia project near Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott. The Mauritanian government has also reached a framework agreement with German developer Möhring Energie for the development of project NAYRAH, which will produce about 400,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia. This follows the government’s launch of its national “Green Hydrogen Code” in October this year.
In our November episode of Project Features, Juwö Poroton and Ammonigy joined us to explore their “CO2-free brick production” project, demonstrating the use of cracked ammonia fuel to fire bricks in Wöllstein, Germany. Though hurdles remain for the deployment of the solution at the necessary scale, promising operational results and quality-checked final products were achieved, and progress is being made towards emissions mitigation.
Air Liquide has announced the successful start-up of its first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium.
