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

Development of fuel ammonia combustion technology in glass melting furnaces
Currently, numerous glass melting furnaces are operating worldwide, but in large furnaces, a significant portion of the thermal energy relies on fossil fuels. AGC is aiming for carbon neutrality and is progressing towards decarbonizing the energy source for glass melting furnaces. In particular, we are focusing on ammonia, which does not emit GHG during combustion, and have been participating in NEDO project “Development of Fuel Ammonia Combustion Technology in Industrial Furnaces” since 2021. In June of this year, we conducted a demonstration test of ammonia combustion in a glass melting furnace. We will continue to work towards larger scale introduction…

Ammonia Safety in End Use Applications
In the transition to a low-carbon energy economy, renewable power generation is pivotal, but reliable energy provision requires long-term, sustainable energy storage solutions. Ammonia’s relatively high energy density, existing global infrastructure, and established manufacturing and distribution system make it an attractive alternative energy carrier. However, as new applications emerge, thorough risk assessments and control measures are necessary to minimize health and environmental risks. This work evaluates the safety considerations associated with ammonia as a fuel for end use applications, including industry and transportation. Established practices offer insights, yet novel applications require dedicated safety strategies. Ammonia’s potential hinges on comprehensive risk…

Exploring ammonia retrofits at the Sakra power plant, Singapore
Sembcorp, IHI and GE will explore potential retrofits to existing gas turbines at the Sakra power plant to run on 100% ammonia fuel. The Sakra plant currently features two GE 9FA turbines, which are among the models IHI & GE are targeting for development of a “retrofittable” ammonia combustion system.

MHI Energy Transition and Ammonia Firing Gas Turbine
MHI Group released the “Carbon Neutrality Declaration by 2040” with the theme of “MISSION NET ZERO” and we are working to develop technologies and businesses towards the goal. In this panel session, MHI’s technology roadmap for CO2 zero power generation is presented first, where ammonia and hydrogen firing GT/GTCC plays an important role. Then technologies development and validation progress for the ammonia firing GT are presented and discussed together with MHI involved Ammonia power generation projects worldwide. Lastly activities of Hydrogen GT development and validation are briefly introduced.
