Data-driven, carbon intensity-based certification

By on November 30, 2023
Ammonia certification methods should be data-centric and focus less on labels. Ammonia certification based on carbon intensity is becoming an increasingly important subject at international fora such as the G7, the G20 and the IMO. Learn more about discussions at our recent annual conference featuring Shigeru Muraki (Clean Fuel Ammonia Association), Wouter Vanhoudt (Hinicio), Linda Dempsey (CF Industries) and Conor Furstenberg Stott (Furstenberg Maritime Advisory).

“A common vision”: Germany forge new ties for hydrogen imports with the Netherlands, Africa

By on November 27, 2023
Germany and the Netherlands have forged a groundbreaking new hydrogen partnership, doubling down on their common vision of a thriving European green hydrogen import market. The countries have announced a joint H2Global tender worth €600 million launching in 2024, as well as a plan to develop cross-border hydrogen infrastructure. Also this month, a new €4 billion commitment to Africa from Germany will act as the “starting signal” for deeper cooperation on hydrogen & renewable energy. Meanwhile, a recent Fraunhofer ISE study provides key insights into the export markets that are best equipped to meet this new demand.

Successful finance pathways for the NoGAPS vessel

By on September 05, 2023
New analysis from the Global Maritime Forum has found that the cost gap between ammonia fuel and conventional fuel could be closed as early as 2026 for their new NoGAPS vessel. A series of levers need to be pulled to fully finance NoGAPS and similar vessels (such as long-term charters), but the authors report favorable deals should be readily available. The authors also map out three commercial pathways for NoGAPS to operate, the easiest being exclusive bunkering on the US Gulf Coast.

Updated German hydrogen strategy includes target for hydrogen & ammonia “sprinter” power plants

By on August 30, 2023
Germany’s updated national hydrogen strategy forecasts that hydrogen demand in the country will skyrocket by 2045, including new demand for hydrogen and ammonia power generation. An auction process ending in 2026 will spur the construction of 4.4 GW of “sprinter” power plants around the country, generating electricity from pure hydrogen or ammonia. This will support the continued integration of renewable energy into Germany’s national grid.
