UK-based developer of advanced atomic power solutions for shipping, Core Power, has released a special report describing plans to use floating offshore production platforms for mass-production of zero-carbon ammonia using nuclear technologies.
The proposed facility is an offshore floating power plant, housing the reactor and the power conversion system. The offshore plant would output a mix of electricity and heat, depending on the actual requirements. It would be sited relatively close to an offshore ammonia production facility and storage tanks and built on the experience of the oil and gas industry. “No emissions would come from the plant,” said Dr. Rory Megginson, Core Power’s director of analytics.
