In our June Episode of Project Features, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology and Sunoco LP joined us to discuss ammonia pipelines. What lessons and best-practices can we draw from existing pipeline networks, and what design & risk mitigation factors are critical to the design of new ammonia pipeline routes?
Learn more about a recently-completed ammonia bunker pilot facilitated by the Port of Rotterdam, and the global landscape of maritime ammonia activities being tracked by the Global Maritime Forum.
AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority will work together towards the establishment of a million-tons-per-year renewable molecules corridor between India and northwestern Europe, via Rotterdam.
A study spearheaded by the West Australian state government and completed in collaboration between the Mid West Port Authority (Australia), Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems has shown that renewable ammonia transportation from Western Australia to Germany via Rotterdam is technologically and economically feasible.
ISPT’s new report explores the design, technical, and safety considerations of a theoretical 550 km ammonia pipeline linking the Port of Rotterdam to Karlsruhe in Germany, carrying 7 million tons per year of ammonia.
Winning projects in the second round of the EU Hydrogen Bank auction have been announced. Requesting production subsidies similar to first round winners, fifteen renewable hydrogen projects will be funded over ten years, including two ammonia projects led by IGNIS in Spain. A third auction round is set to launch later this year.
Duiker Clean Technologies will construct and operate an industrial-scale pilot plant for its ammonia cracking technology in the Netherlands, thanks to government and EU funding.
Facilitated by the Port of Rotterdam, Trammo, OCI, James Fisher Fendercare successfully completed a ship-to-ship transfer of ammonia between two vessels berthed at APM Terminals Maasvlakte earlier this month. The successful pilot raises the Port of Rotterdam’s “Port Readiness Level” for marine ammonia fuel to the deployment phase.
Adding terminal storage capabilities to its fleet of marine transportation and logistics fleet, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has acquired LBC Tank Terminals. LBC is currently inviting expressions of interest for its Vlissingen ammonia storage and cracking terminal, which is set to become operational in 2028.
