First step in establishing Namibia’s renewable hydrogen and ammonia industry

Kevin Rouwenhorst November 21, 2024

In our October episode of Project Features, Hyphen Hydrogen Energy outlined its multi-phase, mega-scale renewable ammonia project set to be the first step in Namibia’s green industrialization pathway. Learn about current timelines and future expansion scope for the 2 million tons per year project, and how the physical infrastructure footprint has been carefully minimized to allow for its siting in the Tsau Khaeb national park.

Licensor selection picking up for renewable ammonia synthesis loops

Kevin Rouwenhorst August 20, 2024

One of the key steps in project development is the selection of the licensor for the renewable ammonia synthesis loop. For renewable ammonia projects, licensors including KBR, Topsoe, Thyssenkrupp Uhde, Casale, and Stamicarbon offer a range of technologies and services covering small to large-scale ammonia production. We explore these different technology offerings, as well as the growing list of projects where they are being deployed.

Updated PGS-12 code: Preparing for increased ammonia imports to the Netherlands

Kevin Rouwenhorst August 16, 2024

In our July episode of Project Features, we were joined by the Port of Rotterdam, OCI Global and Chane to explore current and future ammonia imports into Rotterdam. With significant ammonia import targets set for 2050, terminal projects are already underway in Rotterdam, including a four-phase expansion of OCI Terminal Europoort, and a new distribution hub from Chane. These developments will proceed according to a modern, updated set of guidelines for ammonia storage and handling in the Netherlands, known as PGS-12.

Ammonia cracking in H2SITE membrane reactors

Kevin Rouwenhorst July 15, 2024

In our May episode of Project Features, H2SITE joined us to explore the development history of their Palladium membrane-based, ammonia cracking technology. Learn more about the deployment of this technology at a hydrogen vehicle refueling site in the UK, plus plans for scaling-up the technology to produce tons per day of fuel-cell grade hydrogen from ammonia.

Harnessing wind power for ammonia on Canada’s Atlantic coast

Kevin Rouwenhorst July 12, 2024

In our June episode of Project Features, we were joined by World Energy GH2 to explore the major milestones of Project Nujio’qonik, an RFNBO-compliant ammonia project based on GW-scale wind power in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. FID on the project’s first phase is expected in 2025, producing 400,000 tons of ammonia per year for export to Europe.

Renewable ammonia in China: full speed ahead

Kevin Rouwenhorst February 28, 2024

China is keeping pace with IEA predictions for electrolyzer installations, with as much as 55% of the world’s total capacity to be installed there by 2028. Coupled with strong wind-power resources, domestic manufacturing capabilities and multiple economic drivers to transition away from coal-based ammonia production, China is ideally positioned to speed up the deployment of renewable ammonia projects.

Renewable ammonia exports from Brazil: Project Iracema

Kevin Rouwenhorst January 14, 2024

In our latest episode of Ammonia Project Features, we explored Project Iracema: a grid-connected, renewable ammonia production facility under-development in Pecem, northeast Brazil. To discuss Brazil’s unique electricity market, project details and the important role of certification to the project, AEA Technology Manager Kevin Rouwenhorst was joined by Jonas Rechreche (Proton Ventures), Matheus Kleming (Casa dos Ventos) and Ricardo Gedra (CCEE).
