Europe’s largest CCS project will start‑up this summer, following the arrival and operational testing of the CO2 carrier vessel Northern Phoenix. Up to 800,000 tons of CO2 from ammonia production at Yara’s Sluiskil plant in the Netherlands will be transported and sequestered each year off Norway’s coast.
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.
Meet MAE, developer of a 620,000 tons per year renewable ammonia project in northern Chile, proximate to key industrial offtakers and port infrastructure. Joining our conversation is the Millennium Institute on Green Ammonia as Energy Vector, a Chilean not-for-profit supporting the development of a renewable ammonia supply chain in the South American nation.
A feasibility study commissioned by North Sea Port and partners finds that an ammonia pipeline linking the coast to customers in the Ruhr industrial hinterland is technically and economically viable in the long term, should large-scale ammonia imports eventuate.
New academic research from the University College of London recommends immediate acceleration of ammonia deployment, helping to establish marine ammonia fuel within “commercial niches” by the end of the decade. While LNG and methanol generate some benefits, they risk competing with – rather than enabling – the long-term solution that is ZNZ (zero or near-zero emissions) marine ammonia fuel.
China-based Shuangliang Group announced that it has delivered sixteen of its electrolysis units to ACME for the first stage of its renewable ammonia project in Duqm, Oman.
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.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation will lead a co-financed, billion dollar loan to JERA for investment in the Blue Point mega-project in the USA.
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.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored progress at AM Green's AMGA-K1 renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India, including architecture for renewable electricity supply, technology partners, RFNBO pre-certification and offtake agreements. India could potentially become a key global ammonia bunker fuel hub, and has an ecosystem of RFNBO-compliant ammonia production sites emerging.
