Presentation

Ammonia-to-Power to decarbonize heavy industries

Seonghoon Woo

Amogy aims to enable the decarbonization of the hard-to-abate sectors, such as shipping and power generation, with its emission-free ammonia-to-power solution. Amogy has developed a compact, high-efficiency ammonia cracker to crack ammonia into hydrogen, where the produced hydrogen is subsequently used to generate power through a fuel cell. This proprietary design leverages the superior physical characteristics of liquid ammonia with the performance advantages of matured hydrogen fuel cell technology. To date, Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system has been demonstrated with success in a 5 kW drone, 100 kW tractor, and 300 kW semi truck, and the Amogy team is working on retrofitting…

Presentation

Ammonia and the Netherlands

Hugo Klijn

Starting with a broader hydrogen narrative, this presentation will touch on EU as well as NL policies to develop a H2 ecosystem/market. Focussing on the Port of Rotterdam and some NH3 elements, we will discuss a session held during the recent WHS in Rotterdam with some ammonia-related outcomes and, finally, address some concerns in terms of safety/societal anxieties.

Scene-setting for ammonia in the marine industry: propulsion systems, FPSOs & jettyless tech

Geofrey Njovu August 11, 2023

As the maritime industry gears towards the use of more sustainable fuels, Denmark-based cargo pump supplier Svanehoj reports increased orders for ammonia-capable equipment to be used on LPG tankers. Navantia and H2SITE will combine their expertise in shipbuilding and ammonia cracking to create hydrogen-based propulsion systems. Thyssenkrupp Uhde’s ammonia technology will be used in SwitcH2’s floating ammonia production vessels to harness offshore wind energy. And Iverson eFuels will use ECOnnects’ jettyless gas transfer technology at its 200,000 tonnes per year ammonia production facility in Norway.

CSIRO: new progress in ammonia energy

Julian Atchison July 05, 2023

Australia’s national research organisation CSIRO is contributing valuable R&D across the hydrogen and ammonia value chains. At Ammonia Energy APAC 2023, we’ll hear updates on some key ammonia energy projects at CSIRO: small-scale production, combustion engines, and fuel cells, as well as an ongoing partnership with Fortescue Future Industries to develop & deploy metal membrane technology for ammonia cracking systems.

Cracking feasibility study launched in Rostock

Julian Atchison June 20, 2023

EnBW, VNG and Jera will jointly conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the construction of an ammonia cracker demonstration plant at the Port of Rostock. The port joins a list of European ports where large-scale ammonia cracking is being considered, or a demonstration plant has already been announced: Antwerp, Rotterdam, Wilhelmshaven, Liverpool and Immingham amongst others.

Trammo, Iberdrola sign up to key offtake agreement

Julian Atchison June 19, 2023

Trammo will purchase & sell up to 100,000 tonnes per year of renewable ammonia from Iberdrola in Spain, starting in 2026. The agreement kickstarts a green hydrogen corridor linking southern and northern Europe, with Trammo to focus on ammonia sales to industrial customers.

Cracking-based propulsion systems, new vessels on order

Julian Atchison June 05, 2023

Norwegian technology developer Pherousa announced that it has developed & validated an ammonia cracking-based propulsion system, with plans to order six Ultramax vessels fitted with the technology. Grieg Maritime has ordered up to four ammonia-ready bulk carriers from China State Shipbuilding Corporation for delivery in 2026. And a new container ship design has been unveiled by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping.

Construction underway for ammonia-to-hydrogen demonstrator in Birmingham, UK

Geofrey Njovu June 04, 2023

The Ammogen consortium has begun construction on a commercial scale ammonia cracker in the Tyseley Energy Park, aiming to produce 200kg of hydrogen per day for the mobility market. The demonstrator is the latest in a series of announced cracking projects in the UK, demonstrating improved technology, public and private partnerships, plus the utilisation of existing port facilities and resource hubs.

Preparing the Netherlands for large-scale ammonia imports

Geofrey Njovu May 25, 2023

As Europe is expected to import a significant part of its hydrogen needs, ammonia cracking will play a key role. New results from a pre-feasibility study shed light on important considerations for efficient, safe deployment of industrial scale cracking at Rotterdam. Modernisation of the Netherland’s official ammonia storage and loading guideline also shows that fit-for-purpose regulation will be important to meet the demands of a fast-growing ammonia industry.

Maritime developments: on-water cracking, AiPs and Singapore bunker study releases first results

Julian Atchison May 05, 2023

In maritime ammonia updates this week:

In Europe, government funding will support the development of an ammonia cracking system that can be installed on existing LNG vessels (Norway), and the establishment of a floating production and storage facility connected to an offshore wind farm (Netherlands).
Two AiPs have been granted: one for Korea’s first ammonia FSRU vessel, the other for a bunkering tanker in Singapore.
H2Carrier and Trelleborg will develop a ship-to-ship ammonia transfer system.
And GCMD has unveiled the results of their Singaporean ammonia bunker study. All risks identified for conducting pilot projects were found to be low or mitigable, with work towards those pilots to continue.
