Air Liquide starts up industrial-scale ammonia cracker in Belgium | Ammonia

Industrial gas major Air Liquide has begun operating its ammonia cracking pilot plant at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. The unit can convert 30 tonnes of ammonia to hydrogen per day. The technology aims to showcase large-scale ammonia cracking as a viable method of solving the challenge of transporting hydrogen over long distances. “The commissioning of our ammonia cracking pilot unit in Antwerp is a key milestone,” said Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive Committee. “This is a world first which paves the way for new low-carbon hydrogen supply chains.” … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!

Air Liquide secures €110m for renewable hydrogen project in Antwerp

Air Liquide has secured a €110m ($116m) grant from the European Innovation Fund to support its ENHANCE project, an initiative aimed at producing and distributing low-carbon and renewable hydrogen from ammonia in the port of Antwerp-Bruges, Belgium. The project involves plans to build a large-scale ammonia cracking plant and a hydrogen liquefier, aiming to produce hydrogen on an industrial scale using ammonia as a feedstock. The ENHANCE project will retrofit an existing hydrogen production unit in Antwerp-Bruges to use renewable ammonia instead of natural gas, significantly reducing carbon emissions. By leveraging ammonia as a feedstock, the facility is expected to cut carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by more than 300,000 tonnes annually. The hydrogen produced will cater to hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as refineries, chemicals, heavy-duty road transport, maritime shipping and aviation. “This project would capitalise on… Read More »Air Liquide secures €110m for renewable hydrogen project in Antwerp
