In the latest episode of Project Features, Foshan Xianhu Laboratory and Monalisa Group explored a recent demonstration of ammonia combustion for industrial fabrication of ceramic tiles in China. Retrofits of the gas-powered production lines, safe, low-emission ammonia combustion, a multi-level DeNOX approach, target markets, and future ammonia fuel demand potential in China were discussed.
Amogy, GS Engineering & Construction, HD Hyundai Infracore, and the city of Pohang will collaborate to deploy a 1 MW ammonia-powered distributed power generation system in 2026, scaling up to a commercial, 40 MW system by 2028-29.
Adani Energy Solutions has had a $330 million transmission project approved that will supply power to its renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Mundra, Gujarat. The first phase of the Mundra Green Hydrogen Hub will feature 1 million tons per year hydrogen production capacity, with ammonia to be utilized for coal co-firing, marine fuel, exports, and as a substitute for current feedstock imports into India.
John Cockerill will provide its pressurized alkaline electrolysis technology, and partner with Vietnam-based The Green Solutions to develop the 182,000 tons per year Tra Vinh ammonia production project.
IHI Corporation, state-owned utility PLN Indonesia Power, and state-owned fertilizer company Pupuk have announced the successful completion of an ammonia co-firing trial at the Labuan power plant on Java’s west coast.
The Newcastlemax vessel is expected to be delivered to Fortescue by the end of 2026, and will feature WinGD’s X‑DF‑A dual-fuel engine. The vessel is one of a series under construction at Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding in China.
Here, we explore the current demonstration landscape for large-scale cracking. To produce pipeline-quality hydrogen at future energy import hubs, industrial-scale ammonia cracking is still to be derisked and demonstrated, although certain parts of the overall process have been proven at scale. What are the technology elements to be considered, and who are the first-movers deploying the technology in a variety of global locations?
The collaboration integrates MAN’s dual-fuel engine technology with COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry's repair and vessel modification capabilities.
