AFC Energy Gains Approval to Export and Sell Low Carbon Hydrogen from Ammonia Cracking Plant
- The Dunsfold pilot plant produces up to 300kg of hydrogen daily.
- AFC Energy's Hy-5 units can produce up to 500kg of hydrogen per day.
- AFC Energy collaborates with Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd at Port Clarence.
- The UK Environment Agency supports accelerated permitting for future deployments.
Permit Revision and Production Capacity
The UK Environment Agency has revised AFC Energy's permit, allowing the export and sale of low carbon hydrogen from its Dunsfold pilot ammonia cracking plant. This facility can produce up to 300kg of hydrogen per day.
Collaboration with Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd
AFC Energy is working with its Joint Venture partner, Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd, to establish hydrogen production at ICL's Port Clarence facility. The plan involves deploying multiple Hy-5 ammonia cracker units, each capable of producing up to 500kg of hydrogen daily.
Training and Future Deployments
The permit revision provides flexibility for training operatives in a live environment at Dunsfold. AFC Energy and ICL are engaging with the UK Environment Agency to create a framework for future deployments of Hy-5 units across the UK, aiming for accelerated permitting.
