Japan's largest power producer by capacity JERA Co., Inc. and engineering firm IHI Corporation have started a demonstration of co-firing 20pc of fuel ammonia with coal at Jera's Hekinan power plant on 1 April. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. provided around 40,000t of gray ammonia for the trial, which runs until June 2024. IHI and Jera are looking into nitrogen oxide emissions and how they affect boilers and ancillary equipment. How does Jera plan to meet Japan's ammonia demand target in 2030?

“Jera ends #ammonia #cofiring trial with positive results “The No. 4 and No. 5 units of Jera's Hekinan #thermalpowerstation in Aichi Prefecture on March 13” REUTERS - YUKA OBAYASHI - Jun 26, 2024 “Jera, Japan's biggest #powergenerator , said on Wednesday that it had concluded a three-month trial of co-firing 20% of ammonia with #coal at its Hekinan thermal power station with positive results.” “The utility, along with heavy machinery maker IHI, started the test at a 1-gigawatt unit on April 1, in what it said was the world's first trial using a large amount of the gas at a major commercial plant.” “Jera said results were positive, confirming that #nitrogenoxides levels were no higher than when firing coal alone, #sulphuroxides were reduced by 20%, and generation of nitrous oxide, which has a strong #greenhouseeffect , was below the detection threshold.” “Japan aims to expand ammonia co-firing to reduce the #climateimpact of its power plants running on coal — the #fossilfuel with the highest #carbondioxideemissions .” “Energy analysts BloombergNEF have said #ammoniacoalcofiring is too expensive for widespread use in Japan's #powersector and that a #coalplant running on up to 50% ammonia would still emit more #CO2 than a #gasplant .” https://lnkd.in/eZiQYsQv Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston

Jera, Japan's largest #power generator, has successfully concluded a three-month trial at its #Hekinan thermal power station, co-firing 20% #ammonia with #coal. The trial, conducted in collaboration with IHI, showed #promising results with no increase in nitrogen oxides, a 20% reduction in #sulphur #oxides, and negligible nitrous oxide #emissions. Operational #stability was comparable to coal alone. Based on these findings, #Jera plans to commence #construction for #commercial ammonia co-firing by July, aiming for broader #adoption by March #2025. Ammonia, known for its #zero #CO2 emissions when burned, is seen as a potential low-carbon #fuel #alternative, aligning with #Japan 's goals to mitigate coal-fired power plant emissions despite some #environmental #concerns.

LIQUID AMMONIA ⚙: Japan’s Ebara Corporation has announced the successful operation of its new leakfree canned motor pump for liquid ammonia. The product was delivered to Japanese power generation company JERA Co., Inc.'s Hekinan Thermal Power Station for the demonstration of fuel ammonia substitution, and it has successfully operated using liquid ammonia on-site. Ebara developed this leak-free pump in 2023. The delivered product features a design where even the motor part is immersed in liquid ammonia, allowing it to operate without leaking liquid ammonia externally. In this demonstration test, the product was installed in an outdoor environment at the power plant and operated using liquid ammonia under various patterns and loads. Ebara says that in all cases, the product achieved excellent results in terms of performance and functionality. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gpU-uNgi #pumps #cannedmotorpumps #liquidammonia #leakfreecannedmotorpumps #leakfree #demonstrationtest

Strengthening the supply chain that makes lower-emission fuels available for users is among the critical milestones for a successful energy transition.   This process has taken a further step forward with the news that MI member Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has joined a synthetic fuel production project studying the potential of a methanol fuel and CO2 transportation chain to and from Japan.   Offshore Energy reports that MOL has teamed up with synthetic fuel producer HIF Global and Japan’s Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd, which will capture industrial CO2 emissions from which synthetic methanol is produced.   Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ehbJyQFP   #methanol #netzerocarbon #cleanshipping #lowcarbonshipping #decarbonization #maritime #shipping #alternativemarinefuel #emethanol
