Trinidad & Tobago: future production pathways for the world’s largest ammonia exporter

Kevin Rouwenhorst February 11, 2025

To explore Trinidad & Tobago' s existing ammonia production capacity and the new imperative to decarbonize, the Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago and Argus Media joined Project Features last month. To maintain its market share in key export destinations and meet climate goals, Trinidad & Tobago has a series of decarbonized ammonia projects underway, including the use of wind, solar and gas-based CCS pathways.

The Fertilizer Institute, Ammonia Europe launch carbon intensity certification programs

Julian Atchison January 28, 2025

TFI and Ammonia Europe have both launched voluntary certification schemes, aiming to help ammonia producers verify the emissions footprint of their products and attract customers. Both schemes have informed the development of the AEA’s umbrella certification scheme, which is now progressing to the pilot stage.

IMO: Unpacking interim guidelines for ammonia fuel use

Julian Atchison

Meet the IMO to unpack the recently-approved interim guidelines for ammonia as a marine fuel. Ahead of the first ammonia-fueled vessels hitting the water in 2026, we learn about the development process at the IMO, what content the guidelines have, and will answer questions from the global shipping stakeholders.

J-ENG completes testing for its first ammonia-fueled marine engine

Julian Atchison November 29, 2024

Japan Engine Corporation (J-ENG) announced that it has completed test operations on its low-speed, 2-stroke engine, with installation and subsequent trial operations due to begin in April 2025. Installation will be onboard one of the first ammonia-fueled vessels to hit the water: the NYK-led midsized gas carrier project.

Ammonia Energy Conference 2024: Ammonia for Maritime Propulsion is full speed ahead!

Kevin Rouwenhorst November 26, 2024

During the recent 2024 Ammonia Energy Conference, we explored all the latest developments in ammonia-powered maritime propulsion. Engine makers reported strong progress ahead of deployment in 2026, the same year that large-scale vessels will hit the water. The panel explored early operations for the ammonia-powered A-Tug in Japan, as well as ancillary technology systems required for maritime ammonia engines, catalyst after-treatment systems for emission mitigation, and the potential for fuel additives to boost ammonia engine performance.

Sunborne reborn!

Bill David

Despite successfully demonstrating 56kW of controlled combustion of partially cracked ammonia in October 2023, Sunborne Systems was unable to secure Series A funding at the beginning of 2024. Since then, the co-founders have secured UK government funding to tackle two of the challenges set out for Series A funding: to further develop their patented catalysts and to address issues associated with ammonia slippage and NOx emissions. Future opportunities will be discussed.
