IHI：火力发电减少了一半的二氧化碳：氨利用技术
IHI：
利用氨将火力发电产生的二氧化碳排放量减少到一半以下。
机械制造商IHI开发了一项新技术。
作为减少二氧化碳排放的一种方式，它可能会吸引人们的期望。
天然气和氨共烧：
IHI使用一种称为共燃的方法，其中天然气和氨气一起燃烧以发电。
2000 kW发电设施：
我们开发了一种即使氨的比例增加到60％也能稳定发电的技术。
氨的特性：
氨具有即使燃烧也不会排放二氧化碳的特性。
这次技术发展
与仅将天然气用作燃料的情况相比，可以将二氧化碳排放抑制到40％。
IHI的政策旨在实际用作工厂的私人发电。
日本NEDO：
这是世界上第一项在较大的发电设备中将氨的比例提高到60％的技术。
实现无碳社会：
氨是政府行动计划中的“有效燃料”，新技术有望作为减少排放的一种方式。

IHI Yokohama Facility to Initiate World’s First Blue Ammonia-Fueled Gas Turbine Tests
in Keeping with Joint Oil Producing Nation and User Efforts to Build Eco-Friendly Ammonia Value Chain｜
October 23, 2020- press
IHI Corporation
announced today that a 2,000-kilowatt-class gas turbine at its Yokohama Works will begin co-firing tests on October 26 to employ blue ammonia as a fuel.
the Saudi Aramco Oil Company
This initiative will be a world first with gas turbines.
IHI is collaborating with a program that the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan, and the Saudi Aramco Oil Company
are undertaking to demonstrate the feasibility of the blue ammonia supply chain (see note 1).
ammonia is called “blue”
This ammonia is called “blue” as it is carbon-neutral.
That is because the process for producing ammonia from natural gas
entails capturing carbon dioxide emissions using them for enhanced oil recovery and for carbon capture and utilization.
IHI is undertaking research and development
to improve ammonia co-firing technology for gas turbines and coal-fired burners.
This is under a project that Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (see note 2)
commissioned to develop and commercialize advanced thermal power technologies and conduct advanced research into ammonia co-firing technology for such facilities.
This project
aims to raise the ammonia co-firing ratio to more than 50% on a calorific value basis.
IHI is also employing blue ammonia in co-firing tests with pulverized coal at a large-capacity combustion test facility within its Aioi Works in Hyogo Prefecture.
This is incidentally the world’s first blue ammonia and coal co-firing test.

Saudi Arabia Sends Blue Ammonia to Japan in World-First Shipment
Japan will use fuel to create electricity, Saudi Aramco says
Asian country wants to be a world-leader in hydrogen fuels
Blue ammonia
is a feedstock for blue hydrogen, a version of the fuel made from fossil fuels with a process that captures and stores C02 emissions.
Hydrogen from renewable energy that creates no emissions is known as green hydrogen.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter,
is increasingly trying to counter its reputation for producing dirty energy. In recent months,
Aramco
has highlighted the low volume of greenhouse gases emitted from pumping Saudi crude, programs to boost gas production and plans to grow carbon-absorbing mangroves.
