Description of the Event

While the world powers are feverishly trying to transition to green energy, we are currently flaring over three trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year emitting roughly 250,000 tonnes of CO2 per day.  This is not just unnecessary green-house gas emissions, but a missed opportunity, because the natural gas (NG) could be used to produce a valuable feed-stock for nitrogen based-fertilizers:  Ammonia (NH3).

The NG-to-NH3 process is over a hundred years old and used to produce over half of all NH3 consumed today.  The demand for NH3 (as fertilizer) is expected to grow by 65 million tonnes or 40% over the next 5 years and coincidentally, Russia & Ukraine produce roughly 10% of the global supply and Europe produces another 13% (from Russian natural gas).  The increasing demand and reduced supply, has sent a shock-wave around the world and NH3 prices have tripled in the last year.  A thousand cubic feet of natural gas valued $8 is now valued at $36 in the form of NH3!

NH3 is not just a feed-stock for Fertilizer.

·       The United States Department of Energy has funded the West Central Outreach and Research Center at the University of Minnesota through RTI International since 2013 to advance technologies in the production of Green Ammonia (as a fuel). 

·       In 2018, a number of companies came together to form the Ammonia Energy Association to develop and promote NH3 as a means of storing and transporting hydrogen (H2).

·       The maritime industry started promoting NH3 in 2020 as a carbon-free fuel to replace marine gas oil.

You are invited by CyaNH3 and partners from around the world to attend an invitation-only Webinar and learn about: 

·       Back-ground and business-case for NH3

·       R&D funded by the United States Department of Energy

·       Small scale onshore plants for vented, flared, or waste gas

·       Development in offshore solutions for stranded gas

·       R&D to help transition from Blue to Green NH3

Cyan Ammonia FPSO

September 2023 After a year of R&D, we filed our formal patent for an FPSO capable of producing H2 and/or NH3.  The Cyan Ammonia FPSO is targeted for flared and stranded gas around the world with the option of replacing the front-end of the plant (i.e., the gas to H2) with electrolyzers in the future enabling the facility to be repurposed to produce H2/NH3 from renewable energy when these technologies become economically viable.  While the FLNG solution is suitable for dry gas fields and shallow-sheltered waters, it is challenging to commercialize in un-sheltered water and for rich gas.  It is almost impossible to commercialize offshore stranded gas where the LNG production is below 1 MMTPA (133 mmscfd)  What we discovered during our research (and analysis of 70 associated gas streams from 200 fields) was that the heating value of the associated gas, currently being flared or reinjected, can range from dry to very wet (1760 btu /scf), with an average heating value of roughly 1250 b

Deep Dive into Offshore Flaring and Stranded Gas

Deep-Dive into Offshore Flared and Stranded Gas While Cya NH3 intends to develop a solution for each of the three opportunities, we are the furthest ahead with a solution for off-shore flared and stranded gas.   This page therefore focuses on flared and stranded gas from off-shore developments. Data is provided in a combination of Field (English Imperial) and Metric units following regional industry conventions.   For example, Field units tend to be preferred in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, while Metric is the norm in Brazil. General As discussed earlier, the de-facto solution for gas monetization has been the following in preferential order. ·        Collect and sell gas to local consumers, ideally transmitted via pipe-lines.   ·        If the distance to the consumer is excessive (field and project specific but notionally a 1000 miles), consider conversion of the gas to liquified natural gas (i.e., LNG).   Currently for this solution to be economical, typically any new

Did you know the world currently flares over three trillion cubic feet of natural gas per year?  In countries like Brazil and Nigeria, this is not just unnecessary green-house gas emissions, but a missed opportunity: because the gas could be used to produce a valuable Nitrogen-based fertilizer.  The natural gas to Ammonia process is over a hundred years old and used to produce roughly half of all the Ammonia consumed today.  We, at Cyan Ammonia, believe that through the deployment of small modular plants, we could capture enough gas to meet the increase in demand for Ammonia over the coming decade, while reducing green-house gas emissions, and potentially sequestering the carbon dioxide through reinjection. Ammonia is not only a feed-stock for fertilizer, it is also a carrier for a carbon-free fuel:  Hydrogen. Would you rather have Natural Gas Flares or Fertilizer? About Us
