IHI and GE Vernova have built a large scale combustion test facility which will accelerate the development of gas turbines capable of operating on 100% ammonia. The two parties aim to have such gas turbines commercially available by 2030.
The Coega Green Ammonia project, which is targeting a production capacity of 1 million tons per year once operational in 2029, has secured $20 million in development funding from SA-H2 Fund, as well as completing development of the Crossroads Green Energy project, a 1430 MW cluster of solar PV sites that will provide 40% of Coega’s power requirements.
Commissioning work on the CCS-based hydrogen and ammonia demonstration project near Kashiwazaki City, Japan has begun, with project partner INPEX introducing gas feedstock to the hydrogen production plant.
EXMAR announced this week that a WinGD dual-fuel ammonia engine has now been installed onboard the first of its under-construction vessels in South Korea. Ammonia-fueled ammonia carriers similar to EXMAR’s are currently being built in Korea, China, and Japan, with the first of these vessels to hit the water next year.
The consensus that has emerged from across the ammonia energy industry carries a very simple message for the IMO: adopt.
In our June Episode of Project Features, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology and Sunoco LP joined us to discuss ammonia pipelines. What lessons and best-practices can we draw from existing pipeline networks, and what design & risk mitigation factors are critical to the development of new ammonia pipeline routes?
From 2027, the NEOM Green Hydrogen project will produce about 600 tons per day of renewable hydrogen, equivalent to 1.2 million tons per year of renewable ammonia. Project construction is now 80% complete.
Tarfaya, OCP Group’s 1 million tons per year renewable ammonia project, has received RFNBO pre-certification, unlocking access to the European market.
AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority will work together towards the establishment of a million-tons-per-year renewable molecules corridor between India and northwestern Europe, via Rotterdam.
Azane Fuel Solutions and Ofiniti will partner to build a digital delivery service for Azane’s planned network of ammonia bunkering facilities across Scandinavia.
