In the UK, Johnson Matthey (JM) and thyssenkrupp Uhde announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly offer a fully integrated low carbon ammonia solution. By joining forces thyssenkrupp Uhde and JM can access the blue ammonia market together offering proven technologies combining the uhde ammonia process and JM’s hydrogen expertise through its LCH technology, which will enable the production of blue ammonia with up to 99% CO2 capture. Alberto Giovanzana, Managing Director – Catalyst Technologies at Johnson Matthey, said: “We know multiple routes are needed in the energy transition, and ammonia provides several options because it can be used directly in power and shipping industries, and as a hydrogen carrier to safely transport hydrogen to areas it is not easy to produce. “Combining our expertise and over two decades worth of partnership with thyssenkrupp Uhde, we are excited to offer this technology which will allow our customers to produce ammonia with significantly lower CO2 emissions,” the executive added.
