The pair aim to complete an ammonia-fueled engine platform design capable of scaled production, while demonstrating that “an internal combustion engine can be run on liquid ammonia with minimal changes necessary”.
Beginning in Rotterdam, the newly-opened route visits Oslo, Brevik, and Bremerhaven to deliver fertilizer weekly, and will be serviced by the ammonia-powered Yara Eyde from later this year.
Three successful recipients of the “Morocco Offer” last year, ORNX, TAQA Morocco and Moeve have progressed their large-scale renewable ammonia projects in Morocco’s south.
In a series of recent agreements, UAE-based ADNOC has reinforced an emerging, low-emission ammonia supply chain centred on the Middle East. After acquiring global polymer giant Covestro last year, two ADNOC subsidiaries – Covestro and Fertiglobe – will now collaborate on the supply of CCS and renewable ammonia from production sites in the Middle East to global locations.
Envision Energy has released further details about its AI architecture, with two “foundation models” working in tandem to optimize renewable energy inputs for ammonia production, potentially unlocking millions of tons of production potential in China. Meanwhile, KBR and UK-based Applied Computing will combine AI capabilities with an existing digital control platform, allowing users to optimize operations.
The new grant allows InterContinental to further advance and accelerate the mega-project in Australia’s northwest, which will feature up to 26 GW of hybrid wind and solar generation, and the production of up to 1.6 million tons per year of hydrogen.
Duiker Clean Technologies and new partners Plant One have chosen the Port of Rotterdam as the location for the installation of the AMMONEX ammonia cracking pilot plant.
The Fertilizer Institute has released a new edition of its calculation methodology for the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) certification scheme, expanding the program to include key ammonia derivatives for agricultural and industrial use.
Provided robust safeguards are in place, ammonia ship-to-ship transfers are technically and operationally feasible at Raffles Reserve Anchorage in Singapore. Combined HAZID and HAZOP analyses identified zero high-level risks and eleven medium-level risks, and the report includes a series of detailed operational recommendations for the first pilot ammonia StS transfer in Singapore port.
The 4 ton per day project will be fed by an adjacent alkaline electrolysis plant. Led by JGC and key chemicals manufacturer Asahi Kasei, lessons from the demonstrator will be applied to another large pilot for green chemical production planned for next year.
