JERA inks MoUs for fuel ammonia transportation

It will be used for the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant.

JERA Co., Inc has signed memorandums of understanding with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha and Mitsui O.S.K Lines for the transportation of fuel ammonia for the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant.

This came following the company’s international competitive bidding process for fuel ammonia procurement in February as preparation for the operation of large-volume co-firing fuel ammonia of 20% of the heating value at Hekinan Thermal Power Station Unit 4, JERA said in a statement.

The station will start operation in the latter half of 2020s, it said.

Under the MOUs, they will develop fuel-ammonia carriers for domestic thermal power plants and receiving stations and build a fuel-ammonia transportation and receiving system.

They will also install and operate propulsion engines using ammonia as ship fuel and collaborate with related parties to form rules related to the receiving of fuel ammonia.

JERA said that crafting a method for ammonia transportation as a fuel for power generation will create a supply chain for the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant from upstream fuel ammonia to power generation.

“If the development of large-volume ammonia carriers and the construction of a fuel ammonia supply chain are achieved, both world would be world firsts,” it said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
