SynCOR Ammonia™ bridges decarbonization with profitability

With up to 99%+ CO2 removal capabilities, Topsoe's solutions lead the industry in decarbonization. We collaborate with carbon capture technology providers to ensure seamless integration and industry-leading emission reduction, all in one single-point license. 

At the heart of our reforming solutions is the market-leading SynCOR Ammonia™.

With a steam-to-carbon ratio of just 0.6, steam throughout the process is reduced by 80% while cutting water consumption drastically. Creating a previously unseen scaling factor for single-train ammonia plants.

This result can materialize as double-digit reductions in the cost per ton of producing ammonia – with significant savings achieved the further you scale.

Why is carbon intensity key?

The lower the carbon intensity is, the closer your solution will bring you to your decarbonization goals. A vital part of low-carbon ammonia production is the reforming technology used to produce syngas and this is where Topsoe's SynCOR Ammonia solution is a cut above the rest.

We offer a wide portfolio of reforming technologies that produce ultra-low carbon intensity ammonia in single-line capacities of up to 6,000 MTPD.

Main benefits of the SynCOR Ammonia Technology

• Superior to traditional SMR
• Technology for large size plants
• Large capacities in single trains
• Great economy of scale
• Lowest OPEX
• Minimal gas consumption
• Low steam-to-carbon ratio
• Very low water consumption
• Reduced environmental impact
• High safety

A cracking solution ready to go

One of the biggest challenges in realizing net zero is guaranteeing the availability of clean energy. That need has turned hydrogen into an in-demand alternative fuel source. However, hydrogen is notoriously difficult to transport and store.

By using SynCOR Ammonia to convert low-carbon ammonia into a hydrogen carrier and adding our H2Retake™ ammonia cracking technology, there is a ready-to-go solution. H2Retake allows ammonia to be produced anywhere in the world, cracked in another part of the world, while consistently maintaining the same high-quality hydrogen output.

Our ammonia cracking solution boasts a successful track record at the largest single-train production capacity available. And in a highly competitive industry, where even the slightest changes in performance can have a massive impact on the bottom line, being able to invest with confidence is invaluable. H2Retake delivers just that.
