TOKYO -- Japanese engineering company IHI and GE Vernova have built a facility at a plant in Japan to develop a combustor for large-scale ammonia-burning gas turbines for power generation, as the companies near an important step in decarbonizing thermal power.
Test equipment has been installed at an IHI plant in Aioi, Hyogo prefecture, in western Japan. Testing of combustion systems, a key component, will begin this summer.
