We highlight ammonia developments in Taiwan in line with the island nation’s plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050:

  • Taiwan’s largest fertiliser manufacturer, Taiwan Fertiliser Company, will collaborate with ammonia industry giants Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI Corporation to develop a low-carbon ammonia supply chain.
  • Taipower, IHI and Sumitomo have an agreement in place to develop a 5% ammonia-coal co-firing demonstration project at Taipower’s Dalin Power Plant by 2030.
  • And ITOCHU and U-Ming Marine Transport’s partnership for the joint ownership and operation of ammonia-fueled ships.
