Decentralized ammonia applications for hydrogen refueling stations: from technology to business

Eduardo Briales

Ammonia logistics as a hydrogen energy carrier may follow different paths: large-scale crackers and distributed applications for industry or mobility. In this work, the focus is on the distributed applications for mobility, dimensioning a Hydrogen Refuelling Station Case and giving the current status of the Ammogen projects that will follow a similar schema. A real comparison between supply with current hydrogen cylinder deliveries and supply with green ammonia and crack it back to hydrogen onsite before its use. Advantages regarding logistics, technology scaling opportunities and potential for improvement are considered for this application. Finally, the main challenges that are being…

Ammonia Safety in End Use Applications

Alex Gupta

In the transition to a low-carbon energy economy, renewable power generation is pivotal, but reliable energy provision requires long-term, sustainable energy storage solutions. Ammonia’s relatively high energy density, existing global infrastructure, and established manufacturing and distribution system make it an attractive alternative energy carrier. However, as new applications emerge, thorough risk assessments and control measures are necessary to minimize health and environmental risks. This work evaluates the safety considerations associated with ammonia as a fuel for end use applications, including industry and transportation. Established practices offer insights, yet novel applications require dedicated safety strategies. Ammonia’s potential hinges on comprehensive risk…

We do it safely, or not at all: the marine ammonia fuel journey

Sofia Furstenberg Stott November 04, 2023

In our latest episode of Maritime Ammonia Insights, Matt Dunlop (MMMZCS) and Samie Parkar (Lloyd’s Register’s) stepped us through key outcomes of a new, comprehensive safety study for ammonia-fuelled shipping. Combining Quantitative Risk Analysis with Human Factors analysis, a series of risk mitigation & worker training recommendations provides a path forward for the safe operations of ammonia-fuelled vessels.

Trade mission to Chile: report from the AEA President

Hans Vrijenhoef November 03, 2023

AEA President Hans Vrijenhoef recently participated in an official hydrogen trade mission to Chile, addressing the audience at the Santiago Green Hydrogen Summit and securing interest to start planning Chile’s first ammonia-focused event. With a number of key challenges facing ammonia project developers in Latin America and the need to train & educate so many ammonia “newcomers”, 2024 will be the perfect opportunity to bring together all the key stakeholders.

The NH3 Kraken: Amogy’s ammonia-powered tugboat

Conor Furstenberg Stott October 05, 2023

As part of our Maritime Ammonia Insights series, we explore progress onboard the NH3 Kraken, Amogy’s ammonia-powered tug being developed in New York state. We heard updates on vessel retrofits, design points, project partners, the ongoing relationship with the US Coast Guard, HAZOP assessments, regulatory work and the remaining challenges before the tug hits the water for operational trials. Amogy’s Abigail Jablanksky and Chief Safety Solutions’ Herbert Fowlkes joined Conor Furstenberg Stott in conversation.
