Madoqua and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines will lead development of the corridor. Industry partners in the consortium include financiers, terminal operators, Port authorities, alternative fuel producers and offtakers. The transportation of liquified CO2 along the corridor will help establish a supply chain for sequestration of carbon emissions in Norway at Horisont Energi’s Gismarvik CO2 hub.
Long-awaited guidelines for tax credits for the production of “clean” hydrogen in the USA have been released, which include “significant changes” and additional flexibility compared to the first draft.
Equinor has taken Final Investment Decision on two of the UK’s first-ever CCS projects, which will enable low-emission hydrogen and ammonia production at industrial sites on the Tees and Humber Rivers in northeast England.
Korea Southern Power will co-fire ammonia at Unit 1 of the KOSPO-owned Samcheok Bitdream Headquarters power plant, likely sourcing the ammonia fuel from Pilot Energy’s Mid West Clean Energy Project in Australia.
Qatar Energy has laid the foundation stone of its new 1.2 million tons per year ammonia project in Mesaieed Industrial City, south of the capital Doha on the Persian Gulf coast.
We explore future ammonia production pathways for the Caribbean nation, including ongoing plans for CCS and renewable-based projects. The Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago and Argus Media join us in conversation.
ADNOC has announced $2 billion in infrastructure funding for key export enablers in Al Ruwais, including roads and a new port with dedicated chemical terminals. The new port will enable the export of CCS-based ammonia from 2027, with ADNOC’s plant currently under-construction.
Meet Woodside Energy to explore the new Beaumont Clean Ammonia Project. Located on the US Gulf Coast, phase one will have the capacity to produce 1.1 million tons per year of ammonia, utilizing gas feedstock. Lower-carbon ammonia production will start in 2026, when Linde will supply hydrogen feedstock to the facility with ExxonMobil to offtake the carbon dioxide associated with Linde’s hydrogen production for transportation and permanent sequestration.
Australia-based Pilot Energy has been approved as a potential low-emission ammonia fuel supplier under the newly-implemented Clean Hydrogen Production Standard (CHPS) scheme in Korea. In Alberta, Korea Southern Power will work with Hydrogen Canada Corporation to jointly develop a 1 million tons per year ammonia production facility.
In this Technology Insights article, we explore the different technology options for low-emission ammonia production from gas feedstock. What are the different energy, carbon capture, scale and maturity trade-offs that need to be considered? What technology choices are project developers currently making?
