Green hydrogen boasts environmentally friendly characteristics. Nations engaged in hydrogen industry development account for 75% of the global economic output. However, due to the unresolved balance between hydrogen storage density, safety, and storage costs, the hydrogen industry has not yet formed a truly global supply chain and has not played a substantial role in driving global economic development and addressing climate change.
Ammonia cracking can help solve multiple challenges in hydrogen storage and transportation, reducing costs, and facilitating the formation of a global supply chain, paving the way for a true carbon-free future
Ammonia cracking is primarily employed for the production of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and is widely used in industrial processes, such as hydrogenation reactions, ammonia synthesis, and in fuel cells for electricity generation.
The hydrogen generated from ammonia cracking can be used in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of ammonia itself. It serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of various chemicals like methanol, fertilizers, and other industrial compounds.
Ammonia has been produced in large quantities for a long time, primarily for fertilizer production, which has led to the development of extensive storage and transportation infrastructure, thus reducing storage and transportation costs.
Foreign trade company ammonia cracking unit can meet customer needs with excellent performance, flexibility and economy under low temperature conditions.
The ammonia cracking technology converts ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen gas. Ammonia is a low-cost chemical raw material. It has the advantages of high energy density, easy compression and liquefaction, convenient storage and transportation, and does not produce CO2 when burned. Therefore, the idea of using ammonia as a hydrogen transport carrier has received widespread attention. Moreover, ammonia’s high mass and volumetric hydrogen storage densities make it a promising hydrogen transportation carrier.
ln addition, the nitrogen gas produced through ammonia catalytic cracking is an excellent protective gas and can be widely applied in the semiconductor and metallurgical industries.

In June 2022, Foreign trade company entered into a partnership with a European company to initiate a sustainable methanol project aimed at producing 50,000 tons annually. The process involves utilizing renewable energy to electrolyze water, generating green hydrogen. Subsequently, this green hydrogen is combined with carbon dioxide to synthesize methanol. Upon the project’s completion, the initiative is expected not only to decrease carbon emissions but also to yield green, low-carbon fuels. This approach will significantly mitigate air pollution from industrial operations and fully embrace the high-value, comprehensive utilization of resources.
In 2023, Foreign trade company forged a strategic alliance with Asia’s PGC New Energy Enterprises to embark on a groundbreaking project. The objective is to attain an annual production milestone of 20,000 tons of green methanol, leveraging advanced plasma technology and environmentally friendly methanol processes. Through the integration of biomass green methanol production, plasma carbon conversion technology for reduced carbon dioxide emissions, and green hydrogen production via water electrolysis, this initiative is poised to serve as a prominent commercial model in Carbon Capture and Utilization(CCU). Its success is anticipated to play a pivotal role in advancing global carbon neutrality efforts.
