Green Energy News: Saudi Arabia Sends Blue Ammonia to Japan

 

Blue Ammonia


Saudia Arabia will send Blue Ammonia to Japan

Why is Saudi Arabia sending blue ammonia to Japan?

Japan wants to be the world leader in using hydrogen as fuel without carbon emissions. Japan has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 26% by the year 2030.

When Saudi Arabia sends blue ammonia to Japan, it is being touted as the world's first shipment of this new product that is being made in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia plans to develop a $5 billion hydrogen-based ammonia plant in its futuristic-inspired planned city of Noem. Saudi Arabia continues to diversify its energy exports as it wishes to not solely rely on oil as its sole source of income.

Blue Ammonia is 'Green Energy'

This news is important to the green energy world, as blue ammonia can be burned as a fuel in thermal power stations without any carbon dioxide byproduct as a waste. This is Japan's goal: to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Blue ammonia is considered a "feedstock" for blue hydrogen. Hydrogen created from renewable energy sources with no emissions is also known as "Green Hydrogen."

This blue ammonia is produced by Saudi Aramco by converting hydrocarbons into hydrogen and ammonia and capturing the carbon dioxide byproduct, resulting in green hydrogen.

Because Japan is so densely populated, with limited mountainous geography, the country is open to importing the blue ammonia from Saudi Arabia to gain this fuel as renewable energy.

Japan's gas industry executive, Shigeru Muraki says that Japan is "the [blue ammonia] fuel is forging ahead of alternatives, with Japan's electricity industry planning for commercialization in the next few years."

He also says: "We've been looking at liquid hydrogen, organic hydrides and ammonia...the conclusion is that ammonia - a compound comprising three atoms of hydrogen to one of nitrogen - is the 'most viable option'."

Quick Fact: At room temperature, ammonia is a poisonous gas.

The Sequel Seat is perfect for Movie Theaters to Prevent Coronavirus

 

The Sequel Seat by Layer

A company by the name of Layer has designed a movie theater seat for a Coronavirus world, where health and safety is the number one priority. The invention is called the Sequel Seat, and it is a modular chair that can be adaptable to various row widths.

The Sequel Seat has integrated speakers inside the headrests for improved sound during the moviegoing experience. There is a side table on each seat for eating food and drinks during the movie experience.

How does the Sequel Seat prevent Coronavirus?

The Sequel Seat uses a technique that is a woven fabric of copper threads, created with 3D printing. The resulting fabric is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. The design prevents dirt traps from forming. In addition to this fabric, there is a protective screen between each seat. A built-in UV light in the storage compartment of the seat armrest, which sterilizes the moviegoers possessions while they watch a movie. The UV light uses Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVG) to kill harmful microorganisms, such as viruses and bacteria. The UV lights also are on the backs of the seats to sterilize in between each row of Sequel Seats.

The Founder of Sequel Seat says this about it: "Sequel Seat is a tool that delivers the enhanced comfort and essential safety features that will help cinemas define themselves as a safe place where moviegoers can be transported to another world."
