Ammonia takes key role in Taiwan’s energy transition strategy

Geofrey Njovu August 30, 2024

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.

From Japan to North America, Striving for a Low Carbon Future through Advances in Ammonia Production

Glenn Lansford

The transition to a low carbon future is a paramount global challenge, requiring innovative solutions that transcend geographical boundaries. IHI has made promising strides in ammonia production technologies, usage technologies, and engineering for a sustainable energy transformation. The presentation explains the journey from Japan’s pioneering role in utilizing ammonia as an energy carrier, including its use as a co-firing fuel in a pulverized coal power plant, to North America’s adaptation and expansion of these advancements. Amid the drive to curb carbon emissions, this presentation underscores the significance of global knowledge sharing in pursuit of cutting-edge ammonia-based solutions.
