Abstract

Currently ~4.5 million tonnes of oil are consumed in the off-mains industrial market annually in the UK. These energy-intensive processes contribute to point source emissions of 14.2 MtCO2/y. Businesses and industries in these locations often cannot rely solely on electricity to satisfy their process heating requirements. Decarbonisation of these sites therefore presents a significant and pressing challenge. Therefore, the Amburn project will develop and demonstrate a 1 MW ammonia-fed steam boiler to help decarbonise off-grid businesses across the UK. Funded by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero as part of the UK Government’s £55m Industrial Fuel Switching Competition, Flogas Britain and Cardiff University will prove that ammonia is a viable, cost-effective renewable fuel for large energy users off the main gas grid. Phase 2 of Amburn will build upon the main findings outlined in the feasibility study of Phase 1, further developing the design of Amburn, conducting two stages of testing to enable a scale-up of two orders of magnitude throughout the project, and finally carrying out a demonstration at a real customer site.
