Australian, Canadian producers to supply ammonia for power generation to South Korea
Australia-based Pilot Energy has been approved as a potential low-emission ammonia fuel supplier under the newly-implemented Clean Hydrogen Production Standard (CHPS) scheme in Korea. In Alberta, Korea Southern Power will work with Hydrogen Canada Corporation to jointly develop a 1 million tons per year ammonia production facility.
Hyundai Heavy Industries unveils marine ammonia engine
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has completed class approval testing for its HiMSEN Ammonia Dual-Fuel Engine, a four-stroke model that will be fed by direct high-pressure ammonia fuel injection.
Global Hydrogen Review 2024: FID doubles, low-emission ammonia takes center stage
As shown in the IEA’s recently released Global Hydrogen Review 2024, the cumulative hydrogen production capacity reaching Final Investment Decision has doubled compared to last year. Promisingly, low-emission ammonia comprises a significant portion of both the mature project pipeline and secured offtake volume.
China: renewable ammonia to reduce power generation emissions
China’s National Development and Reform Commission has announced an official ammonia co-firing strategy to decarbonise power generation, aiming at achieving at least 10% co-firing by 2027. To address the gap between ammonia fuel demand and domestic production, multiple funding and permitting assistance programs are being led by the NDRC.
Pupuk Indonesia: renewable ammonia production for marine fuel and power generation
Pupuk Indonesia will collaborate with TOYO and ITOCHU to develop a hybrid renewable ammonia plant at an existing production facility in western Indonesia. Via a subsidiary, Pupuk will also supply renewable ammonia to PLN Indonesia Power’s co-firing demonstration project in west Java.
Liebherr: ammonia fuel for the mining sector
Liebherr and Italy-based Bruno Generators will embark on a joint development project exploring ammonia fuel for off-grid power generation in the mining sector. Building off “promising” results in Liebherr’s own internal trials with ammonia fuel, future applications could include power for heavy vehicles like electric excavators.
