German partners to demo ammonia cracker covering imports to hydrogen | Ammonia
Germany-based energy company Uniper has partnered with industrial group Thyssenkrupp Uhde to build a large-scale ammonia cracker at Uniper’s coal-fired power plant in Gelsenkirchen-Scholven, just north of Essen. The demonstration plant is set to crack 28 tonnes of ammonia per day and will underpin the planned hydrogen import terminal in Wilhelmshaven, northwestern Germany, where the technology will be scaled up to industrial levels. The project is described by Uniper as the first of its kind for being one of the world’s first industrial-scale ammonia cracking demo plants that’s designed to convert imported ammonia back into clean hydrogen. The goal is to prove the technology needed for large-scale hydrogen import infrastructure in Europe, using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier. The clean hydrogen can then be used as a fossil-free fuel source for carbon-intensive industries such as… Read More »German partners to demo ammonia cracker covering imports to hydrogen | Ammonia
