UK-based Centrica plc, Windsor, and London-based Mitsubishi Power Europe Ltd. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the development, construction, and operation of Europe’s first-ever ammonia-fired power generation facility at Centrica’s Bord Gáis Energy’s Whitegate Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power station in Cork, Ireland.
It would be one of only two such facilities in the world. The partners said the facility would serve as a global demonstration site for ammonia-fired power generation technology.
