Global Hydrogen Review 2024: FID doubles, low-emission ammonia takes center stage
As shown in the IEA’s recently released Global Hydrogen Review 2024, the cumulative hydrogen production capacity reaching Final Investment Decision has doubled compared to last year. Promisingly, low-emission ammonia comprises a significant portion of both the mature project pipeline and secured offtake volume.
Talus, Minbos to deploy modular ammonia production in Angola
The pair have agreed to deploy Talus’ modular, renewable powered ammonia production technology at the Capanda Green Ammonia Project in Angola. Fertilisers will be produced for the fast-growing domestic agricultural market in Angola, which currently does not have any primary fertiliser production capacity.
Transitioning to ammonia & hydrogen power in Chugoku, Japan
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has published a regional strategy to decarbonise the power generation ecosystem in the Chugoku region, Japan. The strategy predicts the region will require more than 3 million tons of fuel ammonia by 2030, and highlights several ongoing industrial initiatives to demonstrate the use of ammonia fuel & establish local import infrastructure.
Target top regional fuel ports, spend $2 trillion to enable ammonia marine fuel by 2050
New Oxford research finds that over 60% of global shipping fuel demands could be met by renewable ammonia in 2050, which can be achieved by targeting renewable ammonia fuel supplies at the “top 10 regional ports”. The team also predicts that conventional maritime fuel production could be replaced by a more “regionalised industry”, producing up to 750 million tons of renewable ammonia per year in tropical and sub-tropical countries.
