Clean Ammonia
A hydrogen-based fuel that does not emit CO2 when combusted
Coal Power Plants
Coal power plants account for 19% of all CO2 emissions globally. Many of these coal power plants are in parts of the world that have few alternatives to burning coal, making this a particularly hard-to-abate sector.
Clean ammonia can help. Co-firing 20% ammonia with 80% coal, reduces emissions by 20%. The first large scale project in Japan completed successful testing in June 2024 with co-firing at 20%. Plans are underway to improve the technology, enabling 50% co-firing by 2030.
Gas-fired power plants
Utility-scale gas turbines are under development for 100% firing with clean ammonia. This includes both greenfield installations as well as retrofits of existing CCGTs with commercial deployments anticipated before 2030.
Firing with clean ammonia enables dispatchable, low-carbon power generation to balance against variable renewable energy sources.
Shipping Industry
The shipping industry accounts for 3% of global emissions, largely because of its reliance on marine heavy fuel oil, diesel and other CO2-emitting fuels.
Clean ammonia is the answer to the shipping industry's search for an alternative fuel.
The scalability, affordability and low carbon footprint of clean ammonia make it an ideal fuel for the shipping industry,
Chemicals & Fertilizers
Regular “grey” ammonia is an industrial chemical used in many industries including fertilizer, nylon, explosives, refrigeration and many others. By replacing grey ammonia with clean ammonia, these industries can be decarbonized quickly.
