Centrica, Mitsubishi Power plan ammonia fired power facility in Ireland

Centrica and Mitsubishi Power have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop an ammonia-fired power generation facility at Bord Gais Energy’s Whitegate combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station in Cork, Ireland, Mitsubishi Power said on November 29.

The Whitegate CCGT power station will serve as a global demonstration site for ammonia-fired power generation technology. Ammonia, a clean-burning fuel with low carbon emissions, offers a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. 

The project will utilise low carbon ammonia sourced through Centrica Energy’s global trading network, ensuring a sustainable supply chain for the facility.
