PAO NOVATEK was granted Russian patents for a large-scale low-carbon ammonia process and a large-scale pure hydrogen process based on ammonia cracking.
The low-carbon ammonia process, which NOVATEK developed in cooperation with Russian design institutes, is based on steam reforming of natural gas. The now-patented process design enables low-carbon ammonia production capacities of over 1 mmtpa per process train, as well as a smaller carbon footprint, which is achieved through energy-efficient solutions and 90% plus carbon capture and geological storage.
The large-scale ammonia cracking process is a major step towards a value chain that would allow bringing pure hydrogen to end consumers at a competitive and affordable price.
