Germany-based energy company Uniper has partnered with industrial group Thyssenkrupp Uhde to build a large-scale ammonia cracker at Uniper’s coal-fired power plant in Gelsenkirchen-Scholven, just north of Essen.

The demonstration plant is set to crack 28 tonnes of ammonia per day and will underpin the planned hydrogen import terminal in Wilhelmshaven, northwestern Germany, where the technology will be scaled up to industrial levels.

The project is described by Uniper as the first of its kind for being one of the world’s first industrial-scale ammonia cracking demo plants that’s designed to convert imported ammonia back into clean hydrogen.
