Fuel ammonia is one of the carbon free fuel and IHI focused on the ammonia value chain including the use of ammonia at the existing thermal power plant. For the introduction of ammonia combustion technology in existing coal-fired boilers, IHI are working to establish their respective technologies such as small-ratio, 20%, high-ratio (calorific value ratio 50% or more) and single (100%) ammonia combustion. Demonstration of 20% ammonia combustion will be commenced with the commercial 1000MW coal-fired power plant at the end of FY2023. Furthermore, combustion test of high-ratio and single ammonia combustion have been conducted using 12MWt combustion test facilities in Aioi. These ammonia combustion technologies can be applied not only to coal-fired boilers, but also to various industrial furnaces that currently use fossil fuels. In this paper, we introduce the technological development history of ammonia combustion technology currently developed, and mainly describe the development status of single (100%) ammonia combustion test that show the initial combustion test results.
