en.Wedoany.com Reported - A fully operational renewable energy ammonia production facility has been established in Fukushima, Japan, with a daily output capacity of 4 tons. JGC Holdings Corporation is responsible for engineering design and construction, while U.S.-based KBR provides green ammonia production technology licensing and specialized equipment. The ammonia produced at this facility will be used for denitrification processes in thermal power plants.
This facility, owned and operated by JGC, features the following characteristics: It uses Asahi Kasei alkaline electrolyzers to produce low-carbon hydrogen, with electricity sourced from an adjacent photovoltaic power station and supplemented by a grid backup power supply. JGC and Asahi Kasei jointly developed an integrated control system to manage hydrogen production amid power fluctuations; the facility applies KBR's K-GreeN advanced process control technology and receives liquid nitrogen via tanker trucks. The project is funded by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Hari Ravindran, Senior Vice President and Global Head of KBR's Technology Solutions, stated in a press release issued by the organization on May 14, 2026, that building one of the world's first green ammonia facilities demonstrates the possibilities of collaboration among industry leaders. By combining KBR's mature ammonia synthesis technology with advanced electrolyzers, nitrogen production, and intelligent energy storage, it proves that reliable ammonia based on renewable resources is not only achievable but has become a reality.
The project was announced and its development trajectory presented by the JGC team at the AEA Global and AEA Asia Pacific 2022 conferences. The facility was successfully commissioned in early 2026, including a 10-megawatt alkaline electrolysis unit.
