AFC Energy wins UK approval to export hydrogen from ammonia cracking plant
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that AFC Energy announced the agreement by the UK Environment Agency to revise AFC Energy’s Research and Development permit for the export and sale of low carbon hydrogen produced from the company’s pilot ammonia cracking plant to hydrogen off-takers.
AFC Energy continues to work with its JV partner, Industrial Chemicals Group (ICL), to establish hydrogen production, through multiple Hy-5 ammonia cracker units from AFC Energy at ICL’s facility in Port Clarence, Middlesborough.
The pilot ammonia cracker site at Dunsfold is capable of producing up to 300 kilograms of hydrogen per day in its current configuration.
John Wilson, CEO of AFC Energy, commented: “We are delighted to have agreement from the Environment Agency to enable the export and sale of our own low carbon hydrogen produced from our ammonia cracker at our Dunsfold facility. This accelerates revenue generation for AFC Energy, from hydrogen production, by a number of months.”
