In June, ThyssenKrupp announced the launch of its technology for “advanced water electrolysis,” which produces carbon-free hydrogen from renewable electricity and water. This “technology enables economical industrial-scale hydrogen plants for energy storage and the production of green chemicals.”
Two weeks later, in early July, ThyssenKrupp announced that it was moving forward with a demonstration plant in Port Lincoln, South Australia, which had been proposed earlier this year. This will be “one of the first ever commercial plants to produce CO2-free ‘green’ ammonia from intermittent renewable resources.”
The German conglomerate is one of the four major ammonia technology licensors, so its actions in the sustainable ammonia space are globally significant.
ThyssenKrupp’s ammonia synthesis technology was first launched by Uhde in 1928 and, by its own estimation, the company’s technology has been used in 130 ammonia plants in the last 90 years. Uhde also began making electrolyzers in the 1950s, primarily serving the chlorine production industry, where ThyssenKrupp now boasts a 49% market share as “supplier for electrolytic hydrogen production,” having built 600 electrochemical plants worldwide with an installed power rating of 10 GW. ThyssenKrupp also operates one of the few ammonia plant engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms, through its subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Industrial Services (TKIS).
Those two technologies – ammonia and electrolyzers – have been integrated by the engineering division, and the company is now well-positioned to deliver the “green hydrogen and renewable ammonia value chain.”
