Ammonia Crackers
Doosan Enerbility, a South Korean energy solutions company, announced on July 17 that it has entered into a collaboration agreement for an ammonia cracking business with Johnson Matthey (JM), a leading ammonia cracking solution firm in the U.K.
The signing ceremony was held at the R&D office of JM, located in Stockton-on-Tees in the Northeast of England. Attendees included Shin Dong-gyu, wind power/service design manager at Doosan Enerbility, and Phil Ingram, business development manager at JM.
In addition to the joint research agreement, Doosan Enerbility has also contracted with JM for the development of ammonia cracking technology. JM is scheduled to conduct research on the development of an ammonia cracking model that can be linked to a hydrogen combined cycle power plant by the end of the year.
Park Hong-wook, power service BG head at Doosan Enerbility, said, “The collaboration with JM, which understands well the characteristics of the hydrogen combined cycle power plant model that Doosan Enerbility is pushing forward, will contribute to accelerating the era of high-efficiency hydrogen combined power generation.”
Meanwhile, Doosan Enerbility is also speeding up the development of high-efficiency H-grade hydrogen turbines in cooperation with domestic academia and research institutions.
