Honeywell announce that Horisont Energi, a Norwegian sustainable energy startup, has signed a license agreement for Honeywell’s UniSim Design process modelling software to verify and optimize the design of its carbon-free ammonia plants.
Horisont Energi, and its industrial partners, is reportedly developing Europe’s largest blue ammonia facility in the Barents Blue project in northern Norway. Blue ammonia is produced from natural gas but with carbon emissions eliminated using carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques. The captured carbon is safely and permanently stored underground, allowing for ammonia production with minimal environmental impact. The Barents Blue project targets greater than 99% carbon capture across the entire transport chain, which would set a new environmental-friendly standard for blue ammonia, according to Honeywell.
UniSim Design will help Horisont Energi perform technical evaluations of its plant designs aimed at efficiently and cost effectively capturing emissions through steady state and dynamic modeling. Honeywell will work with OLI Systems to integrate its electrolyte simulation technology.
