JERA and IHI to demo ammonia co-firing at a large-scale commercial coal-fired power plant

Green Car Congress

This will be the world’s first demonstration project in which a large amount of ammonia will be co-fired in a large-scale commercial coal-fired power plant. Ammonia enables efficient, low-cost transport and storage of hydrogen. The project will run for approximately 4 years from June 2021 to March 2025.
