bp takes FID on Castellón, to acquire key stake in Oman mega-project

Julian Atchison August 07, 2024

In its quarterly earnings call last month, bp unveiled progress in a number of key renewable hydrogen and ammonia projects. To help decarbonise its existing refinery in Castellón, Spain, a bp and Iberdrola-led consortium has taken FID on the HyVal project. bp also revealed that it will take an equity share and act as operator for the HYPORT Duqm project: a GW-scale ammonia export project being developed in southern Oman.

Trammo to offtake renewable ammonia from northern Australia

Julian Atchison August 06, 2024

Trammo will purchase up to 100% of renewable ammonia produced by Allied Green Ammonia in the Northern Territory, Australia, with the first ammonia sales anticipated to occur in late 2028. In further news for AGA’s project, Germany-based EPC firm SPG Steiner will supply two 40,000 ton, cryogenic tanks to store ammonia production before offtake.

R&D recap: the Journal of Ammonia Energy

Geofrey Njovu August 06, 2024

Ahead of the 3rd Symposium on Ammonia Energy in Shanghai next month, we take the opportunity to highlight select papers and key results from the first two editions, starting with the 2022 Cardiff event:

  • In an ammonia-diesel blending study, Orleans University and WinGD found that minimising the diesel fraction actually led to increased N2O emissions.
  • In a bid to produce an optimal ammonia-hydrogen fuel blend, a University of Birmingham team characterised the ammonia cracking mechanism of a new, transition metal-promoted lithium amide catalyst.
  • A KAUST study of swirl intensity of an ammonia-methane blended fuel finds that increasing the swirl number leads to a more compact flame, reducing NOX emissions.
  • A team from the University of Minnesota found that combustion durations comparable to gasoline were obtained for ammonia-hydrogen fuel blends.
  • And, as part of a joint academic-industry session on safety, it was recommended that a careful, proactive approach is taken towards new ammonia users, likely exposure risk points and deploying maritime ammonia fuel.

Yara to offtake renewable fertiliser from ATOME

Julian Atchison July 29, 2024

Yara has secured a long-term supply from ATOME’s Villeta project in Paraguay. Hydropower from the Itaipu Dam will power the production of electrolytic hydrogen, ammonia and then calcium ammonium nitrate fertiliser, which will be marketed and sold as part of Yara’s “Climate Choice” product line.

Climate Impact Corporation: twin mega-projects in the Australian desert

Julian Atchison July 29, 2024

CIC plans to develop two projects in Australia, based on its modular hydrogen production technology. Each project will feature a 10 GW “network” of off-grid modules, incorporating renewable energy, water extraction and electrolysis to produce renewable hydrogen. The first project - named Green Springs - will be located south of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, producing more than 500,000 tons of renewable hydrogen every year.
