Another partnership centered on the fuel ammonia is seeing the light of day.

This time, the two Norwegian companies Azane Fuel Solutions and Equinor will together study the potential for distributing and bunkering ammonia to ships in the Norwegian offshore sector.

”The project will match an estimated ammonia fuel demand between 2025-2030 with an optimized fuel value chain from production to consumption,” the parties write in a statement.

Specifically, it is about investigating how ammonia can best be introduced as a fuel in the efforts to decarbonize Norwegian offshore, where there are many platform supply vessels providing services for oil fields.

Ammonia, along with methanol and hydrogen, are among the alternative fuels being worked with in shipping as part of the goal of reducing the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2050.

Most recently, Norwegian Yara Clean Ammonia has also signed memoranda of understanding with Bunker Holding and Cepsa regarding hydrogen and ammonia supply chains in Europe.
