Meet Ammonigy and Juwö Poroton, leaders of a development consortium which has successfully demonstrated a pilot brick kiln that runs on cracked ammonia fuel gas. Explore results from demo operations, and the pathway forward to establishing a market for the new decarbonized product.
Join us to explore the AEA’s newly released gas detection whitepaper. Our speakers will answer your questions on best practices for ammonia safety.
In our September Episode of Project Features, project partner Lapis Carbon Solutions and LSB Industries walk us through their CCS ammonia project in El Dorado, Arkansas. Permitting is expected to be finalized next year, followed by commencement of CCS operations in late 2026.
The IMO-backed Maritime Just Transition Task Force has unveiled interim frameworks for training seafarers on vessels powered by alternative fuels such as ammonia, methanol and hydrogen. The frameworks will provide guidance before harmonised training standards are fully developed.
An “entire cargo” of 23,000 tons of ammonia was transferred from NYK’s ammonia carrier Berlian Ekuator to Trammo’s ammonia carrier Eco Enchanted, operated by Trammo. This is NYK’s first STS operation using ammonia.
The first-ever guidelines for use of anhydrous ammonia cargo as fuel on gas carriers have been finalized by the IMO’s Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers. The guidelines will add supplementary text to the existing IGC Code, adding in specific design and operational requirements for ammonia-fueled vessels.
Foshan Xianhu Laboratory and its collaborators have unveiled a new ammonia-fueled aluminium rod furnace, replacing a conventional, gas-powered multi-bar furnace in the production process.
Hanwha Power Systems has received Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping for its ammonia gas turbine conversion design. Hanwha and partners are aiming for conversion of LNG carriers by 2028.
Japan Engine Corporation has announced commercial readiness for its new 2-stroke, dual-fuel engine. The first engine unit will be installed on an ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier next month, with the vessel scheduled to enter service in 2026.
GMF’s new report finds that both ammonia and methanol fuels are now “ready” for commercial deployment, but a concerted push is required to enable scale-up beyond 2030. The report highlights the increased familiarity (and confidence) from key maritime stakeholders with ammonia fuel, and a recommendation to independently verify emissions from the first ammonia-fueled vessels.
