Johnson Matthey (JM) and thyssenkrupp Uhde have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop an integrated solution for blue ammonia technology. By combining thyssenkrupp Uhde's uhde™ ammonia process with JM’s LCH™ hydrogen technology, the collaboration aims to enable the production of blue ammonia with up to 99% CO2 capture. With a 25-year partnership history in ammonia production, the two companies are working towards meeting the increasing global demand for ammonia, driven by markets like shipping and power generation, projected to exceed 600 million tonnes by 2050. Alberto Giovanzana, Managing Director of Catalyst Technologies at JM, highlighted the potential of this technology to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in ammonia production. thyssenkrupp Uhde, known for its expertise in ammonia plants, and JM, with experience in hydrogen projects, are set to offer climate-friendly solutions. JM's LCH™ technology has already been chosen for projects like bp’s H2Teesside 700MW production plant and the H2H Saltend project with Equinor and Linde. Lucretia Löscher, COO at thyssenkrupp Uhde, emphasized the partnership's contribution to sustainability goals and the expansion of their portfolio with eco-friendly solutions to benefit customers.
