Cracking feasibility study launched in Rostock
EnBW, VNG and Jera will jointly conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the construction of an ammonia cracker demonstration plant at the Port of Rostock. The port joins a list of European ports where large-scale ammonia cracking is being considered, or a demonstration plant has already been announced: Antwerp, Rotterdam, Wilhelmshaven, Liverpool and Immingham amongst others.

Photocatalytic Decomposition of Ammonia
In its recently released 6th assessment report, the International Panel on Climate Change unequivocally stated that human activity is the primary driver of observed global warming effects over the past 150 years. Broad alignment with this assertion by the public and private sectors has been the driving force behind decarbonization efforts and various net-zero emissions goals. To date, decarbonization has focused on increasing renewable power capacity and electrification of mobility with few solutions provided for “hard-to-abate” sectors (transport, shipping, aviation, and heavy industry (cement, steel, and chemicals)) that are reliant on inexpensive petrochemicals as fuels / feedstocks and contribute nearly…

The Korean New Deal and ammonia energy
South Korea has featured in many Ammonia Energy news updates, but often in a scatter gun fashion that lacked the momentum of ammonia energy announcements coming from the other side of the Korea Strait. Now, South Korea is ready to step out from Japan’s shadow as a clean energy innovator and deployer in its own right. We’re seeing the beginnings of a well-articulated strategy to achieve society-wide decarbonisation in South Korea, with a starring role for clean hydrogen and clean ammonia.

Europe! (continued)
Last week Ammonia Energy published “Europe!”, an article describing the European Commission’s Green Deal and the related appearance of national hydrogen strategies from several European countries. This week we have an article that describes another consequential European initiative that, while related to the Green Deal, is running on a distinct track: the Clean Hydrogen Alliance. Along the way a clear call to action has been sounded for the ammonia energy community.
