Flogas Britain Ltd
Project Amburn was initiated by Flogas in 2021 after the company identified ammonia as a promising option to decarbonise their offering. Since then, they have led the Amburn Consortium, winning £242k of funding from BEIS under the Industrial Fuel Switching Competition Phase 1. Flogas led the project management activities of the feasibility study and provided the consortium with burner and boiler manufacturer contacts that have been cultivated from their 35-year experience within the sector.
These relationships have proved vital for the continuation of Amburn to Phase 2, with two of the companies (Weishaupt and Cochran) acting as key suppliers for the proposed project.
The off-mains industry in the UK is notoriously hard to decarbonise, and a lot of it is still powered by carbon-heavy oil, so finding cleaner, greener alternatives is a significant, pressing challenge. Whilst LPG is an excellent transition fuel for oil users, cutting carbon by 20%* as well as other polluting emissions – to help off-grid businesses get all the way to net zero, we’re expanding our portfolio of renewables, including a range of green gases. Ammonia is a key part of this; we believe it’s a compelling, highly effective renewable option for off-grid industry, and an extremely cost effective one too. Plus, businesses running on LPG now, will be able to switch to ammonia in the future with modification to equipment.” James Rudman, Business Development Director at Flogas.
