South Korea’s power plant builder Doosan Enerbility Co. announced on Monday that it signed an R&D agreement with the UK-based chemical company Johnson Matthey for ammonia cracking technology.

This method generates hydrogen from the high-temperature breakdown of ammonia, a compound made up of hydrogen and nitrogen.

Besides the newly formed partnership, Doosan Enerbility and Johnson Matthey have agreed on a separate research contract.

The British firm plans to carry out studies into the development of an ammonia cracking model that could be paired with a hydrogen-fuelled power plant by the end of this year. 

The two companies intend to co-develop an integrated design technology connecting the ammonia cracking procedure with hydrogen combined power generation. They aim to apply this innovative approach to future hydrogen-based power production.
