IHI Corporation and GE Vernova have recently finalized the construction of a new large-scale test facility in Hyogo, Japan, dedicated to exploring the potential of next-generation combustion technologies using ammonia. The facility, situated at IHI's Aioi Works site, is specifically designed to test advanced combustion systems under the operating conditions of GE Vernova's F-class gas turbines. Ammonia, which is a byproduct of hydrogen, is known for its ability to produce no net CO2 emissions when combusted, making it a promising candidate for clean energy solutions. The testing is expected to kick off in the summer of 2025, focusing on full-scale prototype combustors running entirely on ammonia, with the ambitious goal of creating a commercially viable gas turbine by 2030. This initiative signifies a strategic collaboration between IHI Corporation and GE Vernova, leveraging IHI's expertise in ammonia combustion and the technical prowess of GE Vernova's global teams. The partnership aims to drive innovation and develop efficient, sustainable solutions for the energy sector. Furthermore, the best practices accumulated at GE Vernova's advanced combustion test facility in South Carolina will be integrated into this joint effort, fostering a cross-pollination of knowledge and expertise.
