Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has completed class approval testing for its HiMSEN Ammonia Dual-Fuel Engine, a four-stroke model that will be fed by direct high-pressure ammonia fuel injection.
The recent Symposium on Ammonia Energy in Shanghai showcased the latest ammonia energy R&D, including cutting-edge work on catalysts, direct ammonia combustion, large-scale co-firing and industrial ceramics production.
China’s National Development and Reform Commission has announced an official ammonia co-firing strategy to decarbonise power generation, aiming at achieving at least 10% co-firing by 2027. To address the gap between ammonia fuel demand and domestic production, multiple funding and permitting assistance programs are being led by the NDRC.
Liebherr and Italy-based Bruno Generators will embark on a joint development project exploring ammonia fuel for off-grid power generation in the mining sector. Building off “promising” results in Liebherr’s own internal trials with ammonia fuel, future applications could include power for heavy vehicles like electric excavators.
We highlight ammonia developments in Taiwan in line with the island nation’s plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050:
Ahead of the international Symposium on Ammonia Energy event next month, we recap R&D presented in the second edition of the Journal on Ammonia Energy:
Ahead of the 3rd Symposium on Ammonia Energy in Shanghai next month, we take the opportunity to highlight select papers and key results from the first two editions, starting with the 2022 Cardiff event:
At last month’s MariNH3 conference in Nottingham, a series of keynotes laid out the opportunities and challenges ahead for marine ammonia fuel. Onboard ammonia cracking technologies are moving through testing phases and closer to commercialisation, vessel designers are working through the unique challenges of carrying ammonia fuel onboard, and emissions mitigation technology (in combination with adherence to existing Tier 3 standards) will be necessary to ensure that ammonia-powered vessels are more environmentally-friendly than conventional counterparts.
Learn more about the 3rd Symposium on Ammonia Energy, to be held in Shanghai from 22-26 September this year. The AEA is a proud supporter of the event, which will showcase the latest R&D in ammonia energy. Hear from a program of global researchers, take part in industry collaboration workshops, and get the chance to explore local R&D in a series of site visits.
Miura Industries and Chubu Electric Power will jointly work together to develop an ammonia co-fired boiler. The boiler will run on a mixture of ammonia and coal-derived gas, with potential industrial applications in Japan.
