Japan Ramps up Ammonia Power Generation
How “green ammonia” will be used is also of growing interest. Several
countries have outlined ambitions to integrate ammonia in their future
energy system, including as a fuel for fuel cells and internal
combustion engines. Japan, which prominently leads these efforts,
envisions a substantial role for ammonia power generation. An updated overview
of its “green growth” strategy issued by Japan’s Ministry for
Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) this February, for example,
suggests “full ammonia power generation” could be demonstrated by
2045. An associated roadmap (Figure 2) also lays out a vast ammonia
supply chain expansion that will render the country into a regional
exporter of ammonia fuel.

“Our goal is to make corn Ethanol Greener using Green Play Ammonia.”
-
“We can make Green Play Ethanol the choice at your local fuel stop.”
-
“ Across the heartland we can move to much higher levels of green
ethanol mixtures at the Ethanol Pump.”
A more compatible approach for the heartland.
The saving grace
for current automobiles of the next 10 to 20 years maybe lowest
possible carbon, methane and nitrous oxide by burning clean ethanol
made from No-tillage Exactrix TAPPKTS corn.
No-tillage corn
production with a green cover crop producing good corn and soybean
crops controlling nitrous oxide. Applying Zero Carbon Ammonia and Low
carbon P and K in production plants powered by Green NH3.
In fact Green
Ammonia built locally with the wind will allow heat and process at the
local Ethanol plant to be powered with Green Ammonia.
Ammonia burning
gas turbines and diesel engine conversions to ethanol and straight
Green Ammonia is coming.

In fact our
economy could be supercharged by providing Green Ethanol locally.
North America’s security is greatly improved by avoiding the mega
refineries. “

Do Gold Mines Need A Better Way To Make Power In Remote Areas?
7.5 MW of
battery storage for gold mine

System
integrates hydroelectric power stations, 36 diesel generator sets
Barrick Gold
Corp. and Caterpillar dealer Tractafric have installed 7.5 MW of
battery energy storage capacity for the company’s microgrid at the
Kibali gold mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Tractafric’s
solution deploys the battery energy storage and Cat bi-directional
power inverters (BDP) to provide grid stability, while the Cat Master
Microgrid Controller is designed to seamlessly integrate up to 45 MW
of power generated by three hydroelectric power stations and 36 Cat
3512 diesel generator sets. Barrick has also employed Cat Connect
Remote Asset Monitoring for the real-time collection and off-site
monitoring of performance data.
The
Caterpillar grid stabilizer offsets the cyclical loading of the
winding plant to reduce the spinning reserve requirement, which
decreases annual diesel consumption by approximately 3 million l and
the associated carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 8 kilotons,
the companies said.
Corporan has collaborated with Cat dealer Tractafric to install 7.5 MW
of battery energy storage capacity for its microgrid at the Kibali
gold mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
“This project required an exceptional collaborative effort between
Caterpillar, Tractafric and the Kibali technical on-site team who had
to make use of innovative remote technologies to commission the system
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The result is continuous, reliable power
for the Kibali mine generated at the lowest unit cost rate through
maximum renewable energy penetration. We are investigating options to
improve on this blend,” said Rousseau Jooste, chief engineer for
Africa and the Middle East for Barrick Gold Corporation. “Barrick is
committed to collaborating with host governments and local communities
to transform natural resources into sustainable benefits for all
stakeholders. We are particularly encouraged by our inclusion in the
Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the past 13 consecutive
years.”
Located in the DRC province of Haut-Uele, the Kibali mine is one of
the largest gold mines in Africa. Barrick operates Kibali in a joint
venture with AngloGold Ashanti and the Congolese parastatal SOKIMO.
Commissioned in September 2013, Kibali produced 808 000 ounces of gold
in 2020 from open pit and underground integrated mining operations.
“Improving the quality of power at a lower cost is a key business
driver for customers,” said Julien-Christian Chaumond, mining director
and group sales director for Tractafric Equipment- Energy &
Transportation. “The configuration of a power system featuring grid
stabilizers illustrates how the technical expertise of Tractafric
Equipment and the advanced technology of Caterpillar deliver
sustainable hybrid energy solutions that supply cleaner and more
stable power to customers while reducing costs.”
About $2 Billion per year at current
market price in the Congo.
