JGC and Asahi Kasei Launch Renewable Ammonia Production in Fukushima
JGC and Asahi Kasei have launched renewable ammonia production at the Namie Green Ammonia Integrated Control System Demonstration Field (NAMICS) in Fukushima, featuring a 10MW alkaline electrolysis plant. The project aims to supply renewable ammonia to local thermal power stations for flue-gas denitration, while insights gained will support a larger pilot plant for green chemical production planned for fiscal 2027. Resonac Corporation is also involved, leveraging Japan’s subsidies for low-carbon hydrogen production.

The Namie Green Ammonia Integrated Control System Demonstration Field (NAMICS) in Fukushima has commenced renewable ammonia production. This project, developed in partnership with Asahi Kasei, includes a 10MW alkaline electrolysis plant initiated in 2021.
JGC has implemented an integrated control system for efficient use of electrolytic hydrogen, while KBR’s K-GreeN® technology is utilized for ammonia production. Renewable ammonia will be supplied to local thermal power stations for flue-gas denitration through Resonac Corporation.
Insights from NAMICS will inform a larger pilot plant for green chemical production planned by Asahi Kasei for fiscal 2027 and beyond. Resonac is also engaged in ammonia energy applications, benefiting from Japan’s subsidies for low-carbon hydrogen production.
