Saudi Aramco thim rov qab Brooklyn-based startup tig ammonia rau hauv roj

Hauv kev sib tw kom nrhiav tau cov roj huv huv, lub luag haujlwm thauj mus los hnyav yog woefully qab vim tias cov roj teeb tsis muaj kua txiv txaus rau lub zog tsheb thauj khoom thiab nkoj. Nkag mus rau ammonia. Cov thev naus laus zis tshiab thiab cov tuam txhab tshiab tau ua haujlwm hloov ammonia rau hauv hydrogen rau lub zog tsheb laij teb, tsheb thauj khoom thiab txawm tias nkoj.

Lub luag haujlwm hnyav thauj khoom lag luam ib leeg suav txog yuav luag ib feem peb ntawm tag nrho cov tsev cog khoom roj emissions los ntawm kev thauj mus los. Kev xa tawm los ntawm kev xa khoom tau nce ze li 10% txij xyoo 2012 txog 2018, raws li International Maritime Organization. Cov nkoj tso tawm ze li ntawm 1 billion metric tons ntawm carbon dioxide txhua xyoo, uas yog hais txog qhov sib npaug ntawm cov pa roj carbon txhua xyoo ntawm Texas thiab California ua ke.

Yog li cov tuam txhab xws li Man Energy Solutions, Wartsila, thiab Amogy, kev pib ua lag luam nyob hauv Brooklyn, tab tom ua hauj lwm rau lwm txoj hauv kev ammonia.

"Peb lub tswv yim thev naus laus zis ua kom muaj txiaj ntsig zoo thiab muaj txiaj ntsig ntawm kev hloov pauv ntawm ammonia rau hydrogen kom koj tuaj yeem siv cov txheej txheem no nyob rau hauv lub tsheb los tsim cov hydrogen, thiab tom qab ntawd siv cov khoom tsim hydrogen los khiav lub tsheb siv roj cell," piav qhia co-founder thiab CEO Seonghoon Woo.

Cov thev naus laus zis ua rau lub nkoj "cracking" (lossis decomposition) ntawm ammonia rau hauv hydrogen, uas tom qab ntawd xa mus rau hauv cov roj hluav taws xob kom lub zog ntawm lub tsheb. Cov kua ammonia lub zog ceev yog kwv yees li peb zaug ntau dua li compressed hydrogen.

Amogy nyuam qhuav sim nws cov thev naus laus zis ntawm lub tsheb thauj khoom ib nrab, thiab twb tau ua rau nws ua haujlwm ntawm ib John Deere tsheb laij teb zoo li drone. Cov kauj ruam tom ntej mus rau kev thauj khoom huv yog lub nkoj tub.

"Peb tau koom tes nrog ntau tus neeg koom nrog kev lag luam hauv kev xa khoom thiab kev tsim khoom hnyav hauv kev lag luam hnyav. Yog li yeej muaj tseeb tias kev sib koom tes yog tus yuam sij txhawm rau ntsuas cov thev naus laus zis tshiab zoo li peb li, kom ntsuas nws tiag tiag thiab tseem nkag mus rau hauv kev ua lag luam, "Woo hais.

Ib qho ntawm Amogy cov tub ua lag luam, Saudi Aramco, yog tus tsim cov roj av loj tshaj plaws hauv ntiaj teb, tab sis pom ammonia ua ib feem ntawm nws lub neej yav tom ntej.

Ahmad Al-Khowaiter, tus thawj coj thev naus laus zis ntawm Saudi Aramco tau hais tias "Nws yeej qhib kev lag luam tshiab rau hydrogen los ntawm ammonia qis-carbon vector, uas peb tau twv ua ntej yog txoj hauv kev zoo ntawm kev thauj hydrogen," said Ahmad Al-Khowaiter, tus thawj coj thev naus laus zis ntawm Saudi Aramco.

"Nws yuav yog kev lag luam loj hlob hauv lub ntiaj teb uas tsis muaj cov pa roj carbon. Cov khoom lag luam zoo li no yuav muaj txiaj ntsig ntau dua, thiab kev ua lag luam rau qhov ntawd thiab kev thov yuav nce siab, yog li peb pom qhov no zoo heev los ntawm peb cov tswv lag luam pom, "nws hais ntxiv.

Ntxiv rau Saudi Aramco, Amogy tau txhawb nqa los ntawm Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, AP Ventures, SK Innovation thiab DCVC. Kev pib ua lag luam tau nce $ 70 lab txog tam sim no.

CNBC tus tsim tawm Lisa Rizzolo tau pab txhawb rau daim no.
