Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC) successfully demonstrated production of hydrogen meeting the standards required for hydrogen fuel for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) (ISO 14687:2019 Grade D) from ammonia. We have been developing hydrogen gas purification technologies with a view to realizing carbon neutrality. Based on our accumulated knowledge of hydrogen gas purification, we conducted a hydrogen production test combining an ammonia cracking furnace and a hydrogen purification device that we developed. We were able to verify that the hydrogen produced meets the standards required for hydrogen fuel for FCVs. We will now proceed to commercialize the equipment for manufacturing hydrogen gas from ammonia.
