Amogy and Japan-based Hoku Infrastructure will identify opportunities to integrate Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology in distributed power generation projects for data centers, industrial facilities, and other off-grid applications in Japan and Asia. Ammonia power solutions represent a potentially simpler pathway to low carbon facility operations compliant with local regulations, as demonstrated by GHD in a recent study.
Over 15 years, commencing FY2029, Samsung C&T will offtake ammonia produced at the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, northwest India.
The partners announced that 100% ammonia fuel combustion has been achieved during testing in Japan, matching “full-load conditions” for GE Vernova’s F-Class gas turbines.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation will lead a co-financed, billion dollar loan to JERA for investment in the Blue Point mega-project in the USA.
Envision has delivered its first shipment of renewable, RFNBO-compliant ammonia from its production site in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to LOTTE Fine Chemical’s chemical import terminal in Ulsan, South Korea.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored progress at AM Green's AMGA-K1 renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India, including architecture for renewable electricity supply, technology partners, RFNBO pre-certification and offtake agreements. India could potentially become a key global ammonia bunker fuel hub, and has an ecosystem of RFNBO-compliant ammonia production sites emerging.
In our March episode of Project Features, we explored the Western Green Energy Hub, a mega-scale renewable hydrogen and ammonia project under-development by InterContinental Energy. Learn more about project progress, architecture, and evolving offtake discussions as the project pushes towards FID in 2029-30.
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding has shipped two critical marine fuel system elements to Japan Engine Corporation for integration with J-ENG’s two-stroke ammonia engine, which passed a rigorous testing regime late last year. The engines will power NYK’s ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier vessels, with the first scheduled to enter service later this year.
India has joined Japan, Korea and the EU in setting an emissions threshold for renewable ammonia certification. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will issue methodologies for measurement, reporting, monitoring, on-site verification, and certification.
Engine testing approval clears another hurdle for the vessels to hit the water and enter commercial service, with EXMAR planning sea trials “in the coming months”.
