In Japan, Tsubame BHB announced that it has initiated trial operations in small, low-temperature, low-pressure ammonia synthesis facilities using Tsubame BHB’s original electride catalyst technologies, and has confirmed production of ammonia during the trial operation of ammonia manufacturing facilities on a commercial scale.
The ammonia synthesis facilities introduced on the “Blue hydrogen and ammonia production and utilization demonstration project” (Kashiwazaki Hydrogen Park) undertaken by INPEX Corporation were ordered and implemented by Daiichi Jitsugyo Co., Ltd., and represent the first order for Tsubame BHB’s commercial facilities, the firm said.
This will be the first case in Japan for the demonstration of next-generation ammonia production using blue hydrogen, it added.
Demonstration tests conducted by INPEX are the first model of “local production, local consumption” in Japan, encompassing the full range of processes, from the production of blue hydrogen and ammonia to the recovery and underground storage of CO2, the supply of power using hydrogen power generation, and supply of ammonia to users, the firm added.
