Japan: An energy revolution with ammonia

JERA and IHI are preparing to start an unprecedented pilot project at the Hekinan power plant in Aichi prefecture. Their aim is to burn a mixture of coal and ammonia to generate electricity. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants. The success of this project could mark a turning point in the use of cleaner fuels in power generation, at a time when interest in ammonia is growing worldwide.
