MODEC, Inc. (“MODEC”) and Toyo Engineering Corporation (“TOYO”) have jointly obtained an Approval in Principle (AiP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a Blue Ammonia*1 Floating Production Storage and Offloading (“Blue Ammonia FPSO”) that will produce ammonia from the gas supplied by Oil & Gas FPSO located nearby.
This Blue Ammonia FPSO is intended to produce and store blue ammonia by using associated gas which has conventionally been reinjected into the reservoir without specific applications. The FPSO is also equipped with Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) facility to capture not only CO2 generated in the process of converting associated gas to ammonia (NH3), but also CO2 from gas turbine generators (GTG). This makes it possible to minimize CO2 emissions from the FPSO during ammonia production.
Additionally, the hull, which stores and offtakes the produced ammonia, was developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
