Session Managers: Fumito Hashimoto, Marubeni Corporation; Shigeru Muraki, Clean Fuel Ammonia Association

The characteristics of hydrogen carriers such as ammonia, liquefied hydrogen, and methylcyclohexane (MCH) will be explored, focusing on their distinct properties, toxicity, energy efficiency, technical readiness, and other relevant factors influencing their diverse applications. Each carrier's anticipated uses will be highlighted, including thermal power plants, industrial furnaces, transportation fuels, and chemical feedstocks.

This session will examine critical hydrogen and ammonia production technologies essential for decarbonisation efforts. Discussions will encompass steam methane reforming, auto-thermal reforming, flue gas capture, and hydrogen recycling.
