China's Envision Energy Powers First Green Marine Ammonia Bunkering Operation in Chifeng
Key Ideas
  • Envision Energy's green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Chifeng successfully powered the first green marine ammonia bunkering operation.
  • China Shipping and Sinopec Suppliers completed the world's first green ammonia ship bunkering operation at Dalian Port.
  • A tugboat now replaces 91% of fossil fuel consumption with ammonia, boasting an ammonia dual-fuel engine and a dedicated fuel supply system.
  • The Chifeng Project integrates solar, wind, and energy storage to produce green ammonia, receiving ISCC Plus and Bureau Veritas certifications.
China's Envision Energy achieved a significant milestone by successfully powering the first green marine ammonia bunkering operation in Chifeng. The renewable ammonia produced at their hydrogen plant was used to fuel a tugboat, demonstrating a shift towards sustainable shipping. China Shipping and Sinopec Suppliers collaborated to complete the world's first green ammonia ship bunkering operation at Dalian Port. The tugboat, now classified as 'Ammonia Fuel Tug,' significantly reduces its fossil fuel consumption by utilizing ammonia as a fuel source. The operation showcased the established value chain from green ammonia production to ship bunkering, emphasizing the feasibility of ammonia-powered vessels in maritime decarbonization. Envision Energy's Chifeng Project, backed by a large renewable energy system, integrates various technologies to produce green ammonia efficiently. The project's certifications for green ammonia and its verified GHG footprint highlight its commitment to sustainability. Dalian Port aims to become a green energy hub in Asia, accommodating various green fuels like methanol, LNG, and biofuels, alongside green ammonia bunkering.
