Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation , a Japanese industrial gas business company in the Nippon Sanso Holdings Group, announced its successful demonstration of production of hydrogen from ammonia that meets the quality specifications (ISO 14687:2019 Grade D) required for hydrogen fuel for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).
TNSC has established a technology to produce hydrogen gas with less than 100 ppm nitrogen and less than 1 ppm methane by purifying a mixed gas of 25% nitrogen, 0.1% methane, and 74.9% hydrogen.
In the SIP initiative, the company used a mixture of gases with few impurities that is made by simulating ammonia cracking gas. Based on the knowledge gained in the hydrogen gas purification, TNSC successfully demonstrated that the produced hydrogen can meet the standards required for hydrogen fuel for FCVs (ISO 14687:2019 Grade D) through a hydrogen production test where a combination of an ammonia cracking furnace and a hydrogen purification device that is developed by the company was used. This allowed us to plan development of equipment to produce hydrogen from ammonia. We will start working on the commercialization of equipment that produce hydrogen gas from ammonia.
