Problem
Coal and gas-fired power plants, along with the shipping industry, contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions due to their reliance on fossil fuels. Many regions lack viable alternatives to carbon-intensive energy sources, making decarbonization a complex challenge. Traditional "grey" ammonia production and use in industries like fertilizer also contribute to carbon emissions.
Solution
Ten08 Energy is developing a hybrid blue-and-green ammonia production facility to supply competitively priced clean ammonia. This clean ammonia serves as a hydrogen-based fuel that emits no CO2 when combusted, offering a sustainable alternative for power generation and maritime transport. The company aims to provide affordable, low-carbon fuel to utilities in Europe and Asia, enabling the co-firing of ammonia with coal in existing power plants to reduce emissions, as well as fueling gas turbines with 100% clean ammonia. Furthermore, by replacing traditional "grey" ammonia with clean ammonia in chemical and fertilizer production, Ten08 Energy facilitates decarbonization across multiple sectors.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes utilities in Europe and Asia seeking to reduce emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants, as well as shipping companies looking for sustainable fuel alternatives.
Features
- Hybrid blue-and-green ammonia production process combining natural gas reforming with carbon capture and renewable energy-powered electrolysis.
- Large-scale production capacity designed to meet the demands of both power generation and shipping industries.
- Compatibility with existing coal-fired power plants through ammonia co-firing (up to 20% initially, with plans to reach 50% by 2030).
- Potential for 100% clean ammonia-fueled utility-scale gas turbines, both in new installations and retrofits.
- Low-carbon fuel alternative for the shipping industry, reducing reliance on marine heavy fuel oil and diesel.
