Energy transition is in full motion, and especially ammonia as a hydrogen carrier looks as really promising but also challenging. Because of the toxic aspects, safety is an important factor in the use of ammonia. In the Netherlands, the BAT ( Best Available Technic) PGS 12 contains the safety requirements of the receiving terminal.

However PGS12 is not enough as an effort: people in surrounding urban areas are important stakeholders in case of a major incident. The want to know how terminals ensure that operations and processes with ammonia have enough safety attention. Also local governments perform studies how to deal with large scale ammonia import and special planning. My presentation gives an overview of the current projects in these topics, all against the background: How to communicate about ammonia and safety?

Insights are given in several projects, amongst them the NOVEX study performed for the province of Zuid-Holland.

Practical knowledge of incident management in the event of ammonia leaks remains limited.

While general guidance on potentially effective response actions exists, their actual effectiveness is largely unknown. It is time to explore and evaluate the available options for emergency responders.

Saipem’s industrialized solution IVHY 100 represents a significant step forward in green hydrogen production. IVHY 100 is developed in collaboration with NEL, a leader in alkaline electrolyzer technology, and it is designed to meet the growing market demands for decarbonizing industrial processes and energy sustainability.
IVHY 100 is a scalable and modular solution, structured in functional modules of 20 MW, with a total power of 100 MW and beyond. This configuration allows for efficient and reliable production of green hydrogen, using renewable energy to power the electrolysis process. The hydrogen produced can be used directly or converted into green derivatives such as ammonia and other sustainable fuels.

Atmonia is an early stage technology company developing an electrochemical pathway towards nitrogen reduction reaction. I will summarize our most recent research efforts towards development and optimization of ammonia synthesis.

As industries accelerate toward net-zero targets, Green Hydrogen and its derivatives like Green Ammonia are emerging as vital enablers for decarbonization—especially in sectors difficult to electrify. Honeywell’s Protonium suite delivers a comprehensive solution to drive down the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and also subsequently the Levelized Cost of Ammonia (LCOA) while ensuring scalability, efficiency, and sustainability across the green hydrogen-ammonia value chain.
