In a significant step towards decarbonization, Adani Power Ltd (APL) has announced its pioneering green ammonia combustion pilot project at the Mundra power plant in Gujarat. This initiative aligns with APL’s commitment to adopting sustainable practices and reducing its carbon footprint.
Q1: What is Adani Power’s recent decarbonization initiative at the Mundra plant?
A1: Adani Power is integrating green ammonia, produced from green hydrogen, by co-firing it with conventional coal in the boiler of a 330 MW unit at the Mundra plant. This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainability.
Q2: How much green ammonia will be blended with conventional fuel?
A2: Adani Power plans to co-fire up to 20% green ammonia with conventional coal, contributing to a more sustainable energy mix and minimizing the carbon footprint of the Mundra plant.
Q3: Who are Adani Power’s key partners in this initiative?
A3: Adani Power has collaborated with Japanese companies IHI and Kowa for the pilot project. IHI specializes in ammonia firing technology, while Kowa is known for energy-saving products, bringing valuable expertise to the initiative.
Q4: Why is green ammonia considered a carbon-neutral alternative to fossil fuels?
A4: Green ammonia is derived from green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis using renewable energy. Ammonia combustion does not emit carbon dioxide (CO2), making it a sustainable and carbon-neutral feedstock for boilers.
