Serving the large-scale hydrogen and ammonia market - Expansion to 5 GW of annual electrolyzer manufacturing
To address the challenges of the global energy transition and ever increasing project sizes disruptive approaches are required. Being a global market leader in large scale ammonia plants and electrolysis technology thyssenkrupp will expand its production capacity of 1 GW electrolysis cells today to 5 GW by 2025. Within four years the company will therefore be further expanding its technology leadership along the entire green chemicals value chain. This involves not only the series manufacturing of large-scale water electrolyzers, but also further development of technologies for the production of synthetic fuels, green ammonia, green methanol and synthetic natural gas at…

Building a sustainable industrial and energy infrastructure
Adjacent to its steel manufacturing plant in Duisburg, Germany thyssenkrupp has established multi-million dollar testing facility for different kinds of Carbon-2-Chem solutions using the offgases from blast furnaces and coke plants, cleaning and separating those gases into its different components and further processing the components to different chemical products such as ammonia and methanol. Major contributor is also the element hydrogen, which is produced in electrolysis unit based on thyssenkrupp’s Uhde technology. This testing facility focuses mainly on recycling the offgases to maximum extent resulting in most sustainable production processes.

From Micro to Mega, how the green ammonia concept adapts
Green ammonia concepts from thyssenkrupp are available from 50 to over 5000 tonnes per day. Variability of electrolytic hydrogen feed presents one of the biggest and unique challenge in achieving an optimal and stable functioning of the Haber-Bosch synthesis loop. The solutions to these challenges require a customised approach, dependent on scale and power generation mix of the of the facility. At thyssenkrupp, Australia, we offer local expertise in optimising the concepts for your small and large scale green ammonia applications, underpinned by our know how as a world leading electrolysis and ammonia technology supplier.

Realisation of Large-Scale Green Ammonia Plants
The global ammonia production is nowadays mostly based on fossil energy carriers (natural gas, coal, naphtha, etc.). It consumes approximately 1.4% fossil energy carriers and releases more than 1.4% of global CO2 emissions. In order to continue the global transition from the fossil fuel and nuclear energy age to the renewable energy age, ammonia could play a key role. Beside the continued utilization for fertilizer industry, ammonia could become an energy and/or hydrogen carrier as well. thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (tkIS) developed a concept to establish Green Ammonia Plants as an alternative to conventional world-scale ammonia plants. As industry leader in…
