Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nippon Shokubai announced on the 21st that they have signed a contract to jointly develop technologies for ammonia decomposition and hydrogen extraction. Through an external heating system, this system produces hydrogen using the plant's waste heat efficiently. We aim to commercialize this technology in the second half of the 2020s as a technology that supports the transport of hydrogen in large volumes and over long distances.
Nippon Shokubai will leverage its track record and knowledge of catalytic technology. MHI will bring together the knowledge gained through supplying chemical plants in Japan and abroad, including ammonia plants. Together, develop an optimal system. using ammonia thermal decomposition catalyst.
