China Tests Green Hydrogen Ammonia in Coal Plants

China is actively working on innovative energy solutions and is considering an ambitious project to co-fire green-hydrogen-based ammonia with coal in a large power plant pilot.

The idea behind this initiative is to blend ammonia, a compound made from green hydrogen, with coal to power electricity generation. This method could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from traditional coal-fired power plants.

The main goal of this project is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while utilizing existing coal power infrastructure. China is one of the largest consumers of coal, and finding ways to make coal plants more environmentally friendly is crucial in the country’s efforts to tackle climate change. Green hydrogen, which is produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

Ammonia stores hydrogen in a stable, liquid form and can be easily transported. Because of these properties, ammonia is considered an excellent hydrogen carrier. By mixing ammonia with coal, power plants can burn a cleaner fuel mixture, resulting in lower carbon emissions.

Despite its promise, co-firing ammonia with coal presents technical challenges. Ammonia combustion requires higher temperatures, and adjustments in the plant’s design may be necessary. Additionally, ammonia’s nitrogen content can lead to the formation of nitrogen oxides, which are harmful pollutants. However, ongoing research aims to address these issues to make the process viable on a large scale.

If successful, this project could have a significant environmental impact by reducing the carbon footprint of China’s coal power plants. Economically, it can also create new markets for green hydrogen and ammonia production, potentially leading to lower costs and wider adoption of renewable energy technologies.
