Green Ammonia for co-firing in power plants; A promising use case to decarbonise power generation

PUBLICATIONS /
/
Thermal generation is the largest source of power and heat today with around 60% of the energy mix dominated by fossil fuels. By retrofitting power plants with small modifications at low cost to co-fire ammonia (green ammonia), the fuel can be combusted alongside coal to generate power.
Ammonia co-firing has several advantages such as providing baseload power with a low-cost implementation making it perfect for regions with high number of thermal plants.
With pilot plants soon turning into a reality, we take a look at the major players in this sector and also review the countries making the most movement about implementing ammonia co-firing.
Here’s our take at Yamna!

Carbon capture offers imminent decarbonisation to many industries and is also deemed to be a crucial part of our net zero ambitions according to the International Energy Agency. Regarding its use in the hydrogen industry, there are mixed opinions as it can be used to decarbonise the mobility sector (through e-fuels) but can also be used as a tool to sustain emission-heavy projects.
