Ammonia takes key role in Taiwan’s energy transition strategy
We highlight ammonia developments in Taiwan in line with the island nation’s plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050:
- Taiwan’s largest fertiliser manufacturer, Taiwan Fertiliser Company, will collaborate with ammonia industry giants Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI Corporation to develop a low-carbon ammonia supply chain.
- Taipower, IHI and Sumitomo have an agreement in place to develop a 5% ammonia-coal co-firing demonstration project at Taipower’s Dalin Power Plant by 2030.
- And ITOCHU and U-Ming Marine Transport’s partnership for the joint ownership and operation of ammonia-fueled ships.

R&D recap: the Journal of Ammonia Energy – volume II
Ahead of the international Symposium on Ammonia Energy event next month, we recap R&D presented in the second edition of the Journal on Ammonia Energy:
- An integrated, indirect ammonia solid-oxide cell featuring a heat exchanger and ammonia cracker was modelled, built and tested by the UK’s Science and Technologies Council (STFC).
- The techno-economics of the transportation of energy from Orkney, Scotland to Milford Haven, Wales using ammonia as an energy carrier transported by ship may be the most cost-effective option.
- N2O and NOX conversion in ammonia engine exhausts is limited by the presence of oxygen and water, presenting an optimisation challenge for technology developers.
- And an academic-industry joint session on ammonia safety highlighted multiple projects currently underway to tackle the risks associated with the use of ammonia in new commercial sectors.
