Japan initiates testing of ammonia-coal mix to reduce emissions from CFPPs

Japanese technology aimed at curbing carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants by introducing ammonia as a substitute for coal is set to undergo testing at a commercial plant later this month, marking a significant step towards its implementation.

JERA, the largest power generator in Japan, along with engineering company IHI, is gearing up for a groundbreaking attempt to generate electricity by burning a blend of coal and ammonia at JERA’s coal plant in Aichi prefecture, central Japan.
