HEKINAN, Japan -- A Japanese technology that aims to reduce carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants by substituting ammonia for a portion of the coal they burn will take a step closer to reality as testing begins at a commercial plant later this month.
The country's largest power generator, JERA, and engineering company IHI are preparing for a world-first attempt to generate electricity by burning a mix of coal and ammonia at JERA's coal plant in Aichi prefecture, in central Japan.
