As the energy transition accelerates, ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen (H₂) are emerging as key molecules for global decarbonization. This presentation will showcase GTT’s advanced cryogenic containment technologies for both onshore storage and marine transportation applications, leveraging decades of experience in membrane technologies initially developed for LNG.

The session will highlight the operational, technical, and integration advantages of membrane containment systems for NH₃ and H₂, including enhanced thermal performance, space optimization, reduced boil-off management challenges, operational advantages, scalability, and improved adaptability for future energy infrastructure projects.

This presentation explores ammonia as a key enabler for zero-carbon shipping, showcasing Wärtsilä’s latest technology developments, safety approach, and fuel flexibility. It provides insights into practical adoption pathways, industry challenges, and collaboration opportunities, supporting stakeholders in accelerating the maritime energy transition toward scalable, compliant, and sustainable operations.

With new fuels come new challenges. The standard drop-in fuels will be replaced with a variety of fuels demanding new solutions and a new approach to how design ships and bunkering solutions.

This presentation addresses the challenges of choices to make and recent development with regards to ship to ship bunkering of Ammonia.

Ammonia (NH₃) is emerging as a promising carbon-free fuel for maritime applications due to its high energy density and existing infrastructure. Direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) offer an efficient pathway for onboard electricity generation; however, challenges such as slow reaction kinetics and catalyst stability remain. In this work, we explore metal- and metal oxide-based nanomaterials integrated with graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as electrocatalysts for ammonia oxidation. The materials are synthesized using scalable methods and characterized structurally using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical studies demonstrate improved catalytic activity and enhanced charge transport due to the synergistic effect of metal-based components and conductive carbon frameworks. These findings highlight the potential of engineered nanocomposites to advance DAFC technology for sustainable maritime energy systems.

The Western part of Europe, like more regions in the world, is not able to generate sufficient renewable energy for its domestic consumption. Importing renewable energy is a solution to overcome this and there are many routes to import energy. Ammonia as a hydrogen carrier is attracting more and more attention for economic reasons. After the imported ammonia is landed at a seaport and stored or transported further inlands, it will need to be converted again into hydrogen. The process that converts ammonia into hydrogen is called ammonia cracking. Ammonia cracking is the last key hurdle that needs to be tackled in order to build an ammonia to hydrogen supply chain to deliver the hydrogen at the right place for the right price. In his presentation Albert will address the main necessities for ammonia cracking and will actively involve the attendees.

Energy trend reflects, ammonia emerging as a critical Hydrogen carrier in the global energy transition, efficient and scalable cracking solutions are essential to enable its widespread adoption. While ammonia cracking technologies continue to evolve, the purification of hydrogen to meet stringent end-use specifications remains a key challenge. This presentation will highlight how Honeywell UOP’s advanced Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technologies are enabling high-purity hydrogen production in ammonia cracking applications. It will explore the integration of PSA systems with NH₃ cracking processes, focusing on performance optimization, energy efficiency, and operational reliability at scale. Drawing on Honeywell UOP’s proven expertise in gas separation and purification, the session will demonstrate how PSA solutions can deliver ultra-high hydrogen recovery, reduced emissions, and improved lifecycle economics, positioning ammonia as a viable and flexible vector for low-carbon hydrogen delivery. Further, we will also deep dive into a one-Honeywell solution which will comprise of offerings from other business group of Honeywell focusing on automation, compression enabling the efficiency of the entire ecosystem.

The paper describes the technical challenges which have been identified and overcome when designing an ammonia cracking plant, which provides the necessary flexibility to serve the needs of the power sector without compromising safety or reliability. This will cover aspects of process, mechanical and control system design as well as inherent safety.

It will also describe the challenges which have been faced when designing an ammonia cracking plant which can both use ammonia as a fuel and which can seamlessly switch between fuels.

Ammonia is the leading carrier for hydrogen imports, yet “last-mile” hydrogen delivery to end-users remains a costly bottleneck. Hymonic bypasses this challenge with modular, turnkey cracking plants that produce high-purity hydrogen directly at the point of use.

Our innovative solutions reduce H2 costs by up to 50% compared to compressed transport. We will discuss the techno-economics of Hymonic’s technology, and its role in decarbonizing key sectors of Heavy-Duty Transport, Industrial Processes, Maritime, and Off-Grid Power.

Both producers and offtakers of low-carbon and renewable ammonia are very aware of the premium EU compliance value of their product and how to capture that. Mid-stream operations, such as terminals, storage and cracking impact the product value and introduces important requirements on mass balancing. In this presentation, I will show that design and operation of mid-stream is not trivial, but, when done right, can be a way to optimise your product’s value.  

Ammonia is emerging as a key hydrogen carrier in the global low-carbon energy landscape. Efficient and flexible ammonia cracking is critical to unlocking its potential for on-demand hydrogen production. Plasma-based ammonia cracking offers a transformative pathway, leveraging non-equilibrium activation under mild conditions for rapid response and direct integration with intermittent renewable electricity. This approach provides a flexible and distributed solution for hydrogen generation, supporting a resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure. This presentation will discuss the economic potential of plasma-based ammonia cracking, focusing on hydrogen production cost, system scalability, and integration with renewable energy, highlighting opportunities for a viable and sustainable hydrogen economy.
