Japanese government, companies eager to work on co-firing ammonia

According to The Nikkei Asia, companies in Japan, which sources a third of its energy from coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, have been exploring a way to "cleanly" use coal power plants by instead burning ammonia, a derivative of hydrogen that does not emit carbon when burned.
These companies, in tandem with the Japanese government, are continuing to hone this signature technology as they believe it will help decarbonize Asia's coal-reliant power sectors, unfazed by ever-skeptical criticism from wealthy Western countries and appealing instead to countries in the developing world.
In a key first step toward this goal, JERA, the nation's largest power generator, at the end of this fiscal year is preparing to start a test run at a commercial coal plant in Aichi prefecture by sourcing 20% of the fuel from ammonia and 80% from coal, a process generally referred to as "co-firing."
