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. In addition to this role as an energy carrier, it can also be used directly as a fuel in thermal power generation.
