Ammonia’s Big Bang: GE Vernova and Japan’s IHI Aim to Unleash Ammonia Value Chain

Gregor Macdonald
January 24, 2024

The world needs a breakthrough to lower emissions from heavy industry, and a solution may be brewing in Japan. IHI Corporation, one of the country’s oldest manufacturers, and GE Vernova have teamed up in recent years to work to unlock the secrets of ammonia. Under their latest joint development agreement, signed on Christmas Day 2023, the companies will work for the next two years developing technology to combust ammonia in turbines that normally run on natural gas.

Shipping Sunshine: GE and IHI Explore Ways to Transform Ammonia Into a Cleaner Energy Source

Gregor Macdonald
February 23, 2023

Japan presides over a highly developed economy, yet, lacking abundant domestic energy sources, it remains reliant on the costly import of coal, oil, and natural gas in the form of liquefied natural gas. But what if there was a way to import energy that’s a lot cleaner? And not only to Japan but all of Asia?

Full Steam Ahead: This Biomass-Burning Plant Will Inch Japan Closer To Its Renewables Goals

February 05, 2020
As a modern-day wonder of reinvention, Japan’s power sector rivals David Bowie, Madonna and Prince. In the decade prior to 2011, fossil fuels and nuclear power dominated the country’s grid, generating close to 90% of the island nation’s electricity. But following the devastating tsunami in 2011, Japanese authorities shut down the country’s 11 nuclear reactors (which represented about 30% of Japanese electricity at the time) and boosted imports of liquified natural gas (LNG), fuel oil and coal to burn in the country’s power plants.

Stephen D. Eule: Coal Rush

Stephen D Eule U S Chamber Of Commerce
September 18, 2015

Coal may have its critics, but Japan is demonstrating that the fossil fuel can have a role to play in sustainable economic growth.

 

Few countries in the world face the energy security challenges of Japan. With virtually no domestic energy resources to speak of — its large methane hydrate resources being decades away from development — Japan has had to rely on imported fuel for almost all of its energy needs.
