Adani Power launches green ammonia pilot project

It will co-fire up to 20% green ammonia for the Mundra plant.

Adani Power Ltd. has initiated a green ammonia combustion pilot project on a 330 megawatt unit at the Mundra plant as one of its decarbonisation efforts.

The pilot project is designed to co-fire up to 20% of green ammonia to propel energy transition in India and reduce carbon emissions before 2030.

Adani Power has also cooperated with Japan-based engineering company IHI and Kowa-Japan on the delivery of the pilot, including its expansion to other operational units and stations. Combustion tests at IHI’s Japan facility have started with a 20% ammonia blend, prior to the Mundra pilot project.

Through the project, Adani Power has set a high standard for “per-unit” emissions with adapting state-of-the-art “ultra supercritical technology” for newly-launched plants. And a key milestone has succeeded with the reproduction of Mundra Plant boilers for the combustion of green ammonia at IHI’s Japan plant.

The Mundra plant is the first plant outside of Japan to receive the green ammonia initiative, operated under the Japan-India Clean Energy Partnership.
