Abstract
The Cross-ministry Strategic Innovation Program (SIP) “Energy Carriers” was implemented for five years starting in 2014 with the aim of establishing a hydrogen value chain. The project involved significant research and development in ammonia combustion and produced a number of significant results on the use of ammonia as a carbon-free fuel, including feasibility studies on gas turbines, internal combustion engines, industrial furnaces, co-firing of pulverized coal combustion, as well as ammonia combustion in large-scale power plants. The project will be implemented in the energy and industrial sectors. This project has brought renewed interest in ammonia combustion to the international combustion community in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from combustion in the energy and industrial sectors. In addition, ammonia combustion has influenced not only energy and environmental policies in Japan but also international energy organizations that influence governments and industries in many countries.
