Pipeline Transport
Ammonia pipelines: existing networks, future deployments, and safety considerations
In our June Episode of Project Features, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology and Sunoco LP joined us to discuss ammonia pipelines. What lessons and best-practices can we draw from existing pipeline networks, and what design & risk mitigation factors are critical to the development of new ammonia pipeline routes?
New ISPT report: design and safety for large-scale ammonia pipelines
ISPT’s new report explores the design, technical, and safety considerations of a theoretical 550 km ammonia pipeline linking the Port of Rotterdam to Karlsruhe in Germany, carrying 7 million tons per year of ammonia.
Envision: 300,000 tons of renewable ammonia capacity online this September
Phase 1 of Envision’s project – with an annual ammonia production capacity of 300,000 tons – is set to come online very soon. Envision will begin offering certified renewable ammonia to both international and domestic markets from Q4 2025.
Ammonia pipelines: existing networks, future deployments, and safety considerations
Meet the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) and Sunoco LP to explore plans for new ammonia pipelines in Europe, as well as operational & safety lessons learned from existing networks in the USA.
Interim guidelines released for safe ammonia imports in Japan
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is in the process of finalising new guidelines for the safe importation of hydrogen and ammonia into Japan. The guidelines will identify key legislative considerations, outline key design and process considerations, and act as a useful starting point for relevant stakeholders to plan for new energy imports.
North Ammonia, Höegh Evi partner to establish Norway-Europe ammonia supply chains
The pair will collaborate to link North Ammonia’s planned production sites in Norway with demand in Europe, via deployment of Höegh’s under-development floating ammonia cracker.
Shared hydrogen pipeline infrastructure for renewable ammonia production in Inner Mongolia
The Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia has released plans for a common-user hydrogen pipeline infrastructure network throughout the region. This will support development of a series of renewable ammonia projects, and adds to the growing list of hydrogen pipeline projects across China. To transport the ammonia to key future demand centres (such as power plants and ports), ammonia pipelines may be the next step.
Preparing the Netherlands for ammonia imports: new roadmap published
A new roadmap from the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) has set a number of key drivers and enablers for ammonia imports of up to 25 million tons per year in the Antwerpen-Rotterdam-Rijn-Ruhr area by 2030. Public acceptance, a careful approach to safety and environmental concerns, regulatory updates and new ammonia pipelines will all be needed.
