【Haichuan New Energy】Building a 100% ammonia direct combustion power plant on Jurong Island, Singapore
Thread Content
An agreement among MHI-AP, Jurong Port, and JERA Asia aims to establish a hydrogen value chain in Singapore, with plans to build a power plant that uses 100% ammonia for direct combustion on Jurong Island in Singapore. Under the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the partners will explore the potential to operate a 60MW-class gas turbine power plant using 100% ammonia, in order to produce clean energy. As the only hydrocarbon-free carrier, the ammonia to be produced is expected to help Singapore adopt hydrogen. The latest memorandum of understanding builds on the preliminary agreement reached between Port of Jurong and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in August 2021 regarding a pre-feasibility study on direct ammonia combustion technology, which was successfully completed in March of this year (2022).
I don’t know what the principle is behind it @RedLee_ZZHI @zxz017 @XueHaiYouZi @ZhiZheMing @YanChangYanAn

Is it easy to produce ammonia? Energy consumption and environmental emissions. . .
Synthetic ammonia is easily available, and Mitsubishi has been testing it on gas turbines for a long time.
Ammonia is easier to store and transport than hydrogen.
The nitrogen oxides after combustion are not equally polluting
I think this estimate is for energy security. I wrote a report before; everyone can take a look! http://www.fishsting.com/xxjh/mypaper/arlgl.html
What is produced after combustion is nitrogen, not nitrogen oxides.
When ammonia is burned directly, nitrogen and water are indeed produced, and the amount of nitrogen oxides generated may be even less than that in coal-fired boilers. It’s just that the synthesis of ammonia is much more complicated than producing hydrogen. Are Singaporeans that rich?
