INPEX Corporation, IHI Corporation & MOL announced that they have executed the demonstration of a clean ammonia supply chain linking the United Arab Emirates and Japan. The clean ammonia used for the demonstration was supplied by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. It was produced by Fertiglobe, a joint venture between ADNOC and OCI that is a key supplier of ammonia, using natural gas produced in Abu Dhabi. Most of the C02 emitted from the production of the ammonia was sequestered and injected into Abu Dhabi onshore oil fields in which INPEX has a participating interest, making it clean ammonia.INPEX oversaw the entire process of the demonstration in close partnership with ADNOC. MOL transported the clean ammonia to Japan in an ISO tank container1 with the support of Nippon Concept Corporation, in which the company holds shares. IHI utilized the clean ammonia to conduct a combustion experiment using an ammonia combustion turbine which is under development. Showa Denko also provided support and cooperation in the transportation of the clean ammonia.Ammonia is advantageous when used as an energy carrier and emits no CO2 when combusted. It is therefore expected to be utilized as fuel for power generation and marine transportation in line with global movements toward a decarbonized society.
