Before air separation and liquid nitrogen became prevalent, ammonia cracking was used to produce small amounts of nitrogen, writes Stephen B. Harrison of sbh4 consulting.

ABB’s automation, electrification, and digital technology could be integrated into a major power-to-x green hydrogen project, which is expected to support the production of one million tonnes of green ammonia annually in Texas.

Air Liquide and Vopak have teamed up on the development and operation of infrastructure for ammonia import, cracking, and hydrogen distribution in Singapore.

The growth of liquid ammonia could mirror the early rise of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector, leading it to develop into the ‘new LNG’.

European energy company Equinor has signed a 15-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply deal with Indian fertiliser and petrochemical firm Deepak Fertilisers.

It would be easy to overlook India’s lofty ambitions in decarbonisation, writes Rob Cockerill, yet early movers should be watching. India is making bold moves in green hydrogen and ammonia, and with good reason.

Italy’s Gas and Heat has teamed up with inspection, certification, and engineering consultancy RINA to develop a cargo and fuel gas system for an ammonia-fuelled bunker vessel.

MAN Cryo’s design for an ammonia fuel-supply system to safely provide ammonia to marine-engine applications has been awarded an Approval in Principle from classification societies DNV and Bureau Veritas.

ADNOC’s board has increased its decarbonisation and low-carbon solutions budget allocation to $23bn (AED84.4bn).

Rob Cockerill looks back on the trend lines from 2023’s epic CO2 Summit in Austria, how we unpack those learnings further in 2024’s gathering, and what’s new on the agenda when speakers, sponsors and delegates...
