In a noteworthy move, Japan’s top power producer, Jera Co., is embarking on a pioneering project to reduce emissions by substituting a portion of coal with ammonia for electricity generation. The company is conducting the first-of-its-kind demonstration at its Hekinan Thermal Power Station in Aichi prefecture, in collaboration with manufacturer IHI Corp. The initiative aims to replace 20% of coal heating value with fuel ammonia in its large-scale, commercial power plant, marking a significant step towards environmental sustainability and cleaner energy production.
