Trials of ammonia as fuel source to begin in Japan
Trials using ammonia as fuel for power generation to cut carbon dioxide emissions are getting underway in Japan. Ammonia does not emit CO2 when burnt.
Japanese thermal power company Jera will begin testing burning a mixture of coal and ammonia at its power station in central Japan in August.
The project is being conducted in cooperation with heavy machinery maker IHI.
Jera will start by mixing a small amount of ammonia, hoping to raise the co-firing rate to 20 percent in fiscal 2024.
Japan s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is developing a gas turbine that is 100 percent-fueled by ammonia.

Drax to use Mitsubishi s carbon capture tech
UK generator Drax has signed a contract with Japan s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to use its carbon capture technology, the companies said on June 10.
The contract will see Drax license MHI’s carbon capture solvent, KS-21, to capture CO2 at its power station near Selby, North Yorkshire. Drax has already created the largest decarbonisation project in Europe, having converted its power station to use sustainable biomass instead of coal, reducing its emissions by more than 85%, the companies said. By deploying bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology, Drax aims at becoming carbon negative by 2030.
