Collaboration for Sustainable Energy: Johnson Matthey and thyssenkrupp Uhde's Blue Ammonia Initiative
Key Ideas
  • Johnson Matthey and thyssenkrupp Uhde sign a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly offer a low carbon (blue) ammonia solution for energy transition.
  • The collaboration combines thyssenkrupp Uhde's ammonia process with Johnson Matthey's hydrogen expertise, enabling up to 99% CO2 capture.
  • The global demand for low carbon ammonia is predicted to reach over $200 billion by 2050, with potential to meet two-thirds of the demand in shipping and power generation markets.
  • Partnership aims to provide sustainable options for the energy transition, offering innovative technology to produce ammonia with significantly lower CO2 emissions.
Johnson Matthey, known for sustainable technologies, and thyssenkrupp Uhde, a leader in chemical plant engineering and services, have joined forces to introduce an integrated solution for blue ammonia technology. This collaboration aims to address the pressing need to reduce CO2 emissions by offering a fully integrated low carbon (blue) ammonia solution. Ammonia, traditionally used for agricultural purposes, is now being recognized as a carrier and supplier of hydrogen energy, crucial for decarbonization efforts. The partnership leverages thyssenkrupp Uhde's extensive experience in ammonia plants and Johnson Matthey's hydrogen expertise through its LCHTM technology to enable the production of blue ammonia with high CO2 capture rates. Global demand for low carbon ammonia is projected to see substantial growth, potentially reaching a market value of over $200 billion by 2050. With many countries setting decarbonization targets, low carbon ammonia is expected to play a significant role in meeting future demands, particularly in the shipping and power generation sectors. The collaboration between Johnson Matthey and thyssenkrupp Uhde signifies a commitment to offering sustainable energy solutions and advancing climate-friendly technologies. Alberto Giovanzana from Johnson Matthey highlighted the importance of ammonia in providing multiple energy transition routes, emphasizing its versatility in multiple industries. Lucretia Löscher from thyssenkrupp Uhde expressed the commitment to environmental sustainability and the partnership's contribution to broadening the portfolio of climate-friendly solutions. This initiative not only focuses on reducing CO2 emissions but also aims to provide customers with innovative technology to support their sustainability objectives.
