Lotte Fine Chemical will supply, transport and store clean ammonia fuel for GS E&C and Amogy’s distributed power generation demonstration project in Pohang. Hear directly from the project leaders at our upcoming annual conference in Houston.
Hanwha Power Systems has received Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping for its ammonia gas turbine conversion design. Hanwha and partners are aiming for conversion of LNG carriers by 2028.
Hull No.8389 is the first of four 46,000 m3 mid-sized gas carrier vessels being constructed in South Korea for EXMAR, with formal delivery on track for 2026.
EXMAR announced this week that a WinGD dual-fuel ammonia engine has now been installed onboard the first of its under-construction vessels in South Korea. Ammonia-fueled ammonia carriers similar to EXMAR’s are currently being built in Korea, China, and Japan, with the first of these vessels to hit the water next year.
Trafigura has signed a contract for four medium-sized gas carriers, featuring WinGD dual fuel ammonia engines. The vessels will be built at HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan, South Korea, and the first ship will be delivered in 2028.
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.
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?
Syzygy and Lotte Chemical have announced results from the latest test of Syzygy’s all-electric ammonia cracker in Ulsan, South Korea. The unit demonstrated capacity of 290 kg/day of hydrogen produced at 11 kWh/kg, as Syzygy works towards commercialisation of the technology.
