Adani Power has collaborated with IHI Corporation and Kowa Company to study ammonia co-firing for environmentally sustainable power generation.
Adani Power (APL), IHI Corporation, and Kowa Company, (Kowa), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to study the feasibility on a modification to achieve 20 percent liquid ammonia co-firing ratio and thereafter extend this to a ratio up to 100 percent mono-firing at the Adani Power Mundra Coal Fired Power Plant.
To achieve de-carbonisation of APL's coal-fired assets, the parties, by considering the possibility of ammonia co-firing through the studies, aim to de-carbonise APL's coal fired assets with an objective to potentially implement the technology in other coal-fired units within India.
These studies contribute to carbon neutrality in India, which is in line with the India-Japan Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) that was announced by the Indian and the Japanese governments on 19 March 2022.
In addition, the companies intend to conduct research and development, demonstration and commercial implementation in parallel with that in Japan to achieve early global implementation of fuel ammonia supply chain.
