A world-leading ammonia to hydrogen project at Tyseley Energy Park

A World-leading ammonia to hydrogen project at Tyseley Energy Park

Ammogen aims to design, build, commission, and operate the world’s largest and most efficient ammonia to hydrogen conversion unit of its kind.

Based on innovative technology developed by H2SITE, Ammogen will deliver 200kg/day of transport-grade hydrogen to an existing and co-located hydrogen refuelling station at Tyseley Energy Park.

Project Aims:

  • Dramatically improve the efficiency, reliability and economics of ammonia cracking
  • Position ammonia cracking within UK political thinking through demonstration.
  • Crystallise follow-on opportunities to unlock trade corridors between the UK and the emerging global hydrogen market.
• Renewable electricity from wind and solar is used to power the Electrolysis and Air Separation Unit that provides Hydrogen and Nitrogen to the downstream process to manufacture Green Ammonia

The facility will deliver 200kg/day of transport-grade hydrogen.

It is estimated that over 97,000 jobs and £16bn GVA could be delivered in the UK through early investment in cracking technologies that enable the use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier.

The need for Hydrogen

Based on innovative technology developed by H2SITE, Ammogen will deliver 200kg/day of transport-grade hydrogen to an existing and co-located hydrogen refuelling station at Tyseley Energy Park.

The need for Hydrogen

Based on innovative technology developed by H2SITE, Ammogen will deliver 200kg/day of transport-grade hydrogen to an existing and co-located hydrogen refuelling station at Tyseley Energy Park.

Key Considerations

To deliver the security and flexibility of a future hydrogen energy system we must:
H2 Science Icon

make use of cost-effective hydrogen generation

H2 Icon

effectively store large quantities of energy under a dispatchable form

H2 Flower Icon

utilise ammonia as an energy-dense hydrogen carrier where viable

However, at present, the economics and efficiency limitations of transporting hydrogen over long distances present barriers for widespread adoption.

Ammogen will address these challenges by harnessing technology innovation and well-established ammonia supply chains, and in doing so position the UK at the forefront of an emerging global market.

The Process

The technology uses endothermic ammonia cracking in a membrane reactor, providing high conversion efficiency and hydrogen suitable for wide-ranging applications. The ammonia feedstock is a hydrogen carrier, with excellent properties for the transport and storage of hydrogen. The technology provides low-carbon, cost-effective hydrogen suitable for applications ranging from UK gas grid injection to vehicle refuelling. The reduced cost and efficiency penalty of the process is made possible by integrating the ammonia conversion, recovery and purification process into a single unit.
