RE: €110m EU grant for Green Ammonia!10 Dec 2024 20:36
Ao basically, Air Liquide’s plant was making grey hydrogen using natural gas, but now, they’re going to use green ammonia to make green hydrogen. Basically, they’ll use green ammonia (which is easier to store and transport) as a feedstock. The ammonia will then be cracked to release hydrogen at the plant.
It’s not about making ammonia from hydrogen, but using ammonia as a way to transport and store hydrogen more easily. This opens up a big opportunity for ITM Power, because the green ammonia is made from green hydrogen produced by electrolysis (the kind of process ITM electrolyzers are designed for). So, as more projects like this take off, ITM could land a lot of contracts in this growing market.
The project with Yara is a great example of how ITM is leading the way in the green hydrogen space. ITM supplied electrolyzers for Yara’s green ammonia production facility in Norway, which uses green hydrogen to create ammonia for fertilizer.
