A new study from the pair has found that, with the right regulatory settings, verified low-carbon ammonia marine fuel produced in China can achieve cost parity with VLSFO and LNG at current prices, even before additional subsidies or rewards are applied.
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.
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.
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.
India has joined Japan, Korea and the EU in setting an emissions threshold for renewable ammonia certification. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will issue methodologies for measurement, reporting, monitoring, on-site verification, and certification.
Kevin Rouwenhorst reports back from the 7th CFAA International Symposium in Tokyo, plus significant progress on the ground for Idemitsu Kosan, NYK Line, Resonac, and IHI Corporation.
Meet AM Green, developers of the renewable ammonia mega-project in Kakinada, India. With FID obtained, pre-certification achieved, and a suite of offtake deals signed, the project is approaching production of renewable molecules. We’ll also be joined by Chemical Market Analytics for an overview of the fascinating context for renewable hydrogen and ammonia in India.
To highlight the progress and current status of the AEA’s Ammonia Certification System pilot, we recently held an exploratory webinar session. Learn about key system elements, what the Certification System is designed to achieve.
The EU has set a legally binding climate target for 2040, at a 90% GHG emission reduction versus 1990 levels. But, while the 2030 emission target can theoretically be met with limited modifications to existing ammonia production plants in the EU, new technology pathway choices will have to be made well before 2040 to ensure compliance. We explore some of the options, and projects in progress.
