The trio will jointly conduct a FEED study into a new-build ammonia bunkering vessel to be deployed as part of an integrated ammonia-fired power plant, terminal and bunker facility on Jurong Island, Singapore. Learn more on progress at the facility at the upcoming Ammonia Energy APAC conference in Brisbane.
The Japanese government will provide financial support to the development of two ammonia import and supply hubs. Adjacent to its Hekinan power plant, JERA will lead development of a hub that will provide fuel ammonia for co-firing, plus distribution facilities for other industrial customers. In Hokkaido, IHI and Hokkaido Electric will develop a hub by 2030, with power generation and industrial customers in the area.
Amogy and Japan-based Hoku Infrastructure will identify opportunities to integrate Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology in distributed power generation projects for data centers, industrial facilities, and other off-grid applications in Japan and Asia. Ammonia power solutions represent a potentially simpler pathway to low carbon facility operations compliant with local regulations, as demonstrated by GHD in a recent study.
Pilbara Ports and Yara Pilbara will collaborate on government and stakeholder advocacy, developing a training program for safe ammonia handling, and planning of necessary fueling infrastructure at the Ports of Dampier and Port of Port Hedland.
Envision has delivered its first shipment of renewable, RFNBO-compliant ammonia from its production site in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to LOTTE Fine Chemical’s chemical import terminal in Ulsan, South Korea.
Meet Air Liquide, which announced the successful start-up of its first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. We will also explore a series of ISO standards under development to help regulate the ammonia energy supply chain.
Kevin Rouwenhorst reports back from the 7th CFAA International Symposium in Tokyo, plus significant progress on the ground for Idemitsu Kosan, NYK Line, Resonac, and IHI Corporation.
In a series of recent agreements, UAE-based ADNOC has reinforced an emerging, low-emission ammonia supply chain centred on the Middle East. After acquiring global polymer giant Covestro last year, two ADNOC subsidiaries – Covestro and Fertiglobe – will now collaborate on the supply of CCS and renewable ammonia from production sites in the Middle East to global locations.
Burckhardt Compression will supply compression technology to Itochu’s under development ammonia bunkering vessel. The vessel is under construction by Sasaki Shipbuilding and is scheduled for delivery in 2027.
Provided robust safeguards are in place, ammonia ship-to-ship transfers are technically and operationally feasible at Raffles Reserve Anchorage in Singapore. Combined HAZID and HAZOP analyses identified zero high-level risks and eleven medium-level risks, and the report includes a series of detailed operational recommendations for the first pilot ammonia StS transfer in Singapore port.
