Amburn Phase 1

Phase 1 of the Amburn project consisted in completing a feasibility study to determine the viability of using Ammonia as an alternative fuel. The study was part of the Industrial Fuel Switching Competition (IFS) phase 1.

The study found that from an economic point of view, boilers fuelled with Ammonia have a significant advantage over other low carbon solutions:

During phase 1 of the project, consortium partners developed an innovate ammonia burner design which addressed two key challenges associated with ammonia combustion:
