Johnson Matthey (JM) and thyssenkrupp Uhde have joined forces to develop and offer integrated solutions for producing low-carbon ammonia (blue ammonia). This collaboration leverages their combined expertise in ammonia production and hydrogen technology.
Blue ammonia offers a cleaner alternative to traditional ammonia production, capturing up to 99% of CO2 emissions. It is also easier to store and transport than pure hydrogen, making it a promising carrier for hydrogen energy in various sectors like power, shipping, and industry.
Global ammonia demand is expected to rise significantly, with low-carbon options meeting a projected two-thirds of this demand by 2050. This trend could create a multi-billion dollar market for low-carbon ammonia.
Alberto Giovanzana, Managing Director – CT Licensing at Johnson Matthey, said: “Combining our expertise and over two decades worth of partnership with thyssenkrupp Uhde, we are excited to offer this technology which will allow our customers to produce ammonia with significantly lower CO2 emissions.”
Lucretia Löscher, COO thyssenkrupp Uhde, added: “At thyssenkrupp Uhde, we are committed to our purpose, ‘we create a livable planet’. With this strong partnership we further broaden our portfolio of climate-friendly solutions and can help our customers even better to reach their sustainability goals.”
