In our April episode of Project Features, we explored Air Liquide’s industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium, as well as the emerging standards and regulations around hydrogen and ammonia.
Meet SwitcH2, developers of a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel for renewable ammonia production, featuring 300 MW electrolyzer capacity onboard. We will explore two offshore ammonia production projects underway: Project Atlantico in northern Portugal and Project Namibia near Lüderitz.
thyssenkrupp nucera will provide 300 MW in total of alkaline electrolysis capacity for Moeve’s Project Onuba, the first in several project phases in the “Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley”. In India, nucera will execute the FEED study for a $1.3 billion, renewable ammonia mega project near Mulapeta Port, Andhra Pradesh.
Europe’s largest CCS project will start‑up this summer, following the arrival and operational testing of the CO2 carrier vessel Northern Phoenix. Up to 800,000 tons of CO2 from ammonia production at Yara’s Sluiskil plant in the Netherlands will be transported and sequestered each year off Norway’s coast.
A feasibility study commissioned by North Sea Port and partners finds that an ammonia pipeline linking the coast to customers in the Ruhr industrial hinterland is technically and economically viable in the long term, should large-scale ammonia imports eventuate.
Eidesvik Offshore has signed a contract with a Norwegian shipyard for the retrofit of the platform supply vessel Viking Energy to run on ammonia fuel, which will be completed later in 2026.
Spanish energy giant Moeve has approved a €1 billion final investment decision to begin construction in the coming weeks of Project Onuba, the first in several project phases in the “Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley”.
Meet EXMAR and Lloyd’s Register, two marine first-movers preparing for the use of ammonia as a marine fuel. Learn about EXMAR’s ammonia-fueled gas carriers due for delivery this year, and a partnership with Lloyd’s Register to develop guidelines for the safe use of ammonia cargo as fuel.
Meet Air Liquide, which announced the successful start-up of its first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. We will also explore a series of ISO standards under development to help regulate the ammonia energy supply chain.
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.
