Presentation
Ammonia, Key Green Energy for Decarbonization (2019 Australia Keynote)
Japanese R&D program SIP Energy Carriers developed technologies to utilize ammonia directly in energy sector. Those results prove ammonia is viable option of C-free fuel in power generation, industrial and maritime markets. We plan to start commercial use of C-free ammonia in the middle of 2020s.

Presentation
High efficiency ammonia synthesis systems
Haldor Topsøe A/S has developed a new technology for generation of ammonia synthesis gas via Solid Oxide electrolysis, which eliminates an air separation unit and has 20-30 % lower power consumption than traditional electrolysis based processes. The concept will be demonstrated in a 50 kW unit along with test of ammonia as fuel for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. The partners in the project are: Vestas, Ørsted, Energinet, Aarhus University and DTU, and it is sponsored by the Danish Energy Development Programme.
Presentation
Progress and challenges in ammonia synthesis by electrochemical processes
Efficient production of ammonia from renewable energy represents an important technology for future means of global transportation of renewable energy from remote land and marine areas where it can be generated inexpensively at massive scale. The direct electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR), coupled with the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), is an attractive approach to the generation of ammonia from renewables and this talk will overview the technology options in respect of this process. The eNRR as carried out in traditional solvents is of relatively low efficiency under ambient conditions compared to other energy storage mechanisms and this is currently limiting…
Presentation
Manufacturing ammonia from renewable energy – demonstrator and scale-up potential
The presentation will: Provide an update of the working demonstrator at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories near Oxford where ammonia is produced from renewable energy and used to fuel a Discuss the status of hydrogen production technology and scale-up

Presentation
Green hydrogen feed for Haber Bosch ammonia synthesis
Yara is heading towards carbon free operations. The Renewable Ammonia Project that Yara is working on together with Engie for Yara Pilbara is one of the first major steps moving in this direction There are still many challenges ahead but Yara feels very well placed to be a key player and first mover in the renewable Ammonia space, supporting our drive to be the Crop Nutrition Company for the Future.
Presentation
Ammonia’s role in a renewable energy future
The creation of renewable energy export value chains is an investment priority for ARENA. One of the most promising ways of achieving this is through the production, storage and transport of renewable hydrogen. Ammonia is a potential pathway in this supply chain, however, the industry also has a key role to play in the domestic market. Domestic projects will be essential for Australia to reach the scale required for hydrogen export, and de-risk and address challenges along the way. This talk will explore the role of ammonia in ARENA’s future hydrogen strategy, and discuss projects that are seeking to address…

Alternative low carbon energy for maritime application
Singapore is the largest trans-shipment seaports in the world that has connectivity to 600 ports in over 120 countries. The country has a thriving maritime cluster that comprises over 5,000 maritime-related establishments contributing about 7% of the nation’s gross domestic product. With the growth in world trade and expanding future port activities, the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emission from the local ports is expected to increase in tandem to support the wide range of essential port services. This is a challenge for Singapore and the maritime industry as global climate change agreements call for the reduction in GHG emission. This presentation…

Presentation
Australia's hydrogen transition: Mobility projects as a catalyst to large-scale export
With Australia’s eye firmly fixed on becoming a major hydrogen export player, hydrogen mobility opportunities sometimes gets overlooked. Claire will discuss the important role that fuel cell vehicles and their infrastructure can play in enabling a hydrogen export sector in Australia, including the potential uptake rates out to 2030 and what governments need to do to make this happen.
Presentation
From Micro to Mega, how the green ammonia concept adapts
Green ammonia concepts from thyssenkrupp are available from 50 to over 5000 tonnes per day. Variability of electrolytic hydrogen feed presents one of the biggest and unique challenge in achieving an optimal and stable functioning of the Haber-Bosch synthesis loop. The solutions to these challenges require a customised approach, dependent on scale and power generation mix of the of the facility. At thyssenkrupp, Australia, we offer local expertise in optimising the concepts for your small and large scale green ammonia applications, underpinned by our know how as a world leading electrolysis and ammonia technology supplier.
