thyssenkrupp Uhde and ADNOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Jan. 16 to explore a long-term partnership to create new markets for hydrogen and promote global clean-energy value chains. The MOU will focus on a joint project development of large-scale ammonia cracking, which is used to extract hydrogen from ammonia after transportation.
The ammonia cracking process is based on uhde® reformer technology, which thyssenkrupp said is applied in over 130 large-scale chemical plants across the world. The parties said the agreement will also lead to the exploration of opportunities in the clean energy value chain for the supply and shipment of clean ammonia from the UAE to large-scale ammonia cracking facilities.
