Director of the Chemical Technology Company (ChTC) Leonid Rodin, PhD in Chemistry, chief technologist Viktor Kharitonov attended the e-Fuels conference in Pärnu (Eesti).
The conclusions and recommendations from conference Offshore Power for E-Fuels: Boosting the New Hydrogen Economy have been published.The e-Fuels conference in Pärnu highlighted the exciting potential of Estonia’s emerging hydrogen economy. Experts emphasized the importance of hydrogen technologies in achieving the EU’s climate goals. Discussions focused on the need for pipeline infrastructure, a supportive regulatory framework, and grid reinforcements to facilitate the rapid deployment of hydrogen technologies.
Experts discussed the user-pays principle and the need for better coordination between Member States and the EU to ensure the successful financing of hydrogen infrastructure.
The conference explored the benefits of utilizing offshore wind energy for hydrogen production, decarbonizing marine transport, and attracting investments in hydrogen derivatives.
Ambitious projects such as the green ammonia production in Paldiski demonstrate the potential for large-scale investments in hydrogen in Estonia.
CEO of OÜ Derivaat NH3 Erik Laidvee introduced the conference participants to the presentation of green ammonia production in Paldiski. The role of ChTC and Chemproject in the technological and design engineering of this project was separately noted.
Development of the Basic Project for the «green» ammonia production plant with a capacity of 22.5 thousand t/a in the port of Paldiski, Estonia has been completed in collaboration with PJSC «Chemproject». The technology used in this plant is based on combining exothermic effects in the ammonia synthesis process with the production of water vapour for high-temperature electrolysis SOEC, which is used for hydrogen production. An application for a European patent has been submitted for the innovative solutions developed by ChTC. Detailed engineering designs, equipment layouts, control and automation algorithms have been prepared. Equipment manufacturers for the «green» ammonia production have been identified and potential partners were selected for delivery. At the request of the banking structures in Estonia, the technology has passed a technical examination conducted, and approved by the company KBR Ltd, United Kingdom.
