Realising ammonia bunkering: Insights from ammonia transfers in the Pilbara

Vibin Chandrabose

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) conducted a first-of-a-kind ammonia transfer pilot aimed at simulating bunkering procedures at anchorage in the waters of Port Dampier, Pilbara in September 2024. This spotlight session will share key takeaways from this pilot, including safety procedures, operational protocols, emergency responses measures. The session will also discuss how such pilots can pave the way for adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel across the region.

As a resource-constrained nation, Singapore needs to secure long-term supplies of low-carbon energy. Keppel Infrastructure is leading several decarbonization opportunities, including a pathfinder project for ammonia power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island. A series of challenges confronts Singapore as it seeks to secure fuel supplies, including price competitiveness and certification of incoming fuels.

Ammonia power generation for carbon-neutrality

Toshiro Fujimori

In the power generation space, IHI is actively developing ammonia-fueled gas turbines, boilers and diesel engines. Emission control by two-stage combustion helps reduce the generation of harmful NOX pollutants, and a combustor has been successfully developed and tested to power a 2MW gas turbine. Long-term durability testing of the 100% ammonia-fueled IM270 turbine has concluded at IHI’s Aioi facility, and an ongoing partnership with GE Vernova will develop retrofit technology to enable GE’s F-Series turbines to burn 100% ammonia fuel by 2030. IHI is also part of the Hekinan coal co-firing project, developing boilers capable of burning 60% and 100%…

JERA’s Decarbonization Initiatives: Exploring results from the ammonia power generation demonstration at Hekinan

Masaki Ichiryu

In order to achieve decarbonization of thermal power plants, we conducted a demonstration test at the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant to substitute a part of coal fuel with ammonia fuel last year. The demonstration test was conducted by substituting 20% of the coal fuel with ammonia with good results, and now our construction is progressing as planned for commercial operation. In addition, we have considered safety measures for ammonia handling, including facility design and operational considerations, and we conducted disaster prevention drills and communicated with the local community. In this session, I will explain & explore these initiatives.
