Japan's JERA Secures Subsidy for Ammonia Transition

Japans largest power generator, JERA, secures a fifteen-year government subsidy to import low-carbon ammonia from the Blue Point facility in the US, aiming to reduce coal usage at its Hekinan thermal power station and supply other industrial customers. JERA plans to begin co-firing twenty percent ammonia with coal in April 2029, while Mitsui, a partner in the Blue Point project, also secures government support to supply ammonia to various partners for fuel or emission reduction. This move underscores Japans commitment to transitioning towards cleaner energy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
