Industrial gas major Air Liquide is positioning its latest carbon capture technology as a high-capacity solution for the next wave of mega-scale ammonia plants. Ammonia is the likeliest green energy opportunity to scale as part of the Net Zero push, with green ammonia prices becoming competitive with fossil fuels, so the chance looks good.
Demand for lower-carbon ammonia is rising as producers look to decarbonise a process responsible for a sizable share of global industrial emissions, much of it generated during the production of carbon dioxide-rich syngas used to make hydrogen.
The company’s Recticap system is an evolution of its long-running Rectisol platform and is designed to meet rising global demand for low-carbon ammonia as large projects ramp up across the globe.
These facilities typically rely on high-pressure synthesis gas, or syngas, produced via autothermal reforming, which creates concentrated CO2 streams that must be captured at scale.
