Update on Korean clean ammonia market

Chris Rumley

Korea’s Clean Hydrogen Portfolio Standard (CHPS) is a tender process for subsidizing clean hydrogen imports for power generation applications. Here, we break down the results of the first tender, where the only awarded winner was Korea Southern Power Co. (KOSPO) for the import of clean ammonia fuel to be co-fired at the Samcheok power station. We also look at issues in the first tender process, adjustments made in advance of the second tender announced this May, and how entrants into the Korean clean ammonia market can best position themselves.

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.

Uniper & thyssenkrupp Uhde: demonstration-scale ammonia cracker plant under construction in Germany

Geofrey Njovu June 03, 2025

A demonstration scale ammonia cracker plant is under construction in Germany as part of a partnership between thyssenkrupp Uhde and Uniper. The plant, expected to be commissioned by the end of 2026, will handle about 28 tonnes per day of ammonia, and serve as a test case for the planned hydrogen import terminal at the port of Wilhelmshaven, northwestern Germany.

Adani: critical transmission infrastructure approved for Gujarat ammonia project

Julian Atchison April 22, 2025

Adani Energy Solutions has had a $330 million transmission project approved that will supply power to its renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Mundra, Gujarat. The first phase of the Mundra Green Hydrogen Hub will feature 1 million tons per year hydrogen production capacity, with ammonia to be utilized for coal co-firing, marine fuel, exports, and as a substitute for current feedstock imports into India.

Industrial demonstration of ammonia cracking: exploring global progress

Kevin Rouwenhorst April 16, 2025

Here, we explore the current demonstration landscape for large-scale cracking. To produce pipeline-quality hydrogen at future energy import hubs, industrial-scale ammonia cracking is still to be derisked and demonstrated, although certain parts of the overall process have been proven at scale. What are the technology elements to be considered, and who are the first-movers deploying the technology in a variety of global locations?
