The police department lifted the order just before 12 p.m. The Grand Rapids FD Hazardous Materials Team responded to an ammonia leak at a Wyoming business in the 500 block of 32nd Street in Wyoming at the State Heat Treating Company. People between Eastern Ave SE and Roger B. Chaffee Memorial Blvd, and 32nd St. SE and 36th St SE had been asked to shelter in place with windows closed and ventilation systems turned off. Ammonia is a colorless gas that has a strong sharp irritating odor, said Spectrum Health Pulmonologist Dr. Gustavo Cumbo-Nacheli. Usually this can be a gas or used in a water solution. Most of the time it gets used in the agriculture environment. But, it also can be used in the industry to make plastics or textiles or pesticides or detergents.Dr. Cumbo-Nacheli added that it has a distinct smell. However, if its been inhaled the side effects tend to be short-term.It can cause coughing and shortness of breath. It can cause wheezing, Dr. Cumbo-Nacheli said. Unfortunately, patients who are developing this breathlessness, it can go in crescendo.So, if anyone believes they inhaled he recommended that they monitor their breathing and overall health over the next few days. Make sure that nobody got in touch with the ammonia on their skin or in their eyes, Dr. Cumbo-Nacheli said. Ammonia inhalation has not been known to cause any long-term effects that is cancer or anything like that. So, watch them for a couple of days. If theres no trouble breathing then we should be good.

A new, million-tonne per-year blue ammonia project is under development in the Northern Territory, Australia. Originally, the Pedirka Blue project plan was for gas from the Pedirka Basin (located near Alice Springs) to be used to produce hydrogen, with carbon emissions sequestered in a nearby geological formation. A new MoU (click to download pdf) between project developer Hexagon Energy Materials and FRV Australia has evolved that thinking, with blue hydrogen from Pedirka now to be used for ammonia production. The MoU appears to indicate that hydrogen & ammonia production will be integrated together in the same location, but that planned export facilities will be located in the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct at the Port of Darwin: about 1,500km away. Middle Arm will also be home to a number of separate blue hydrogen projects. The agreement with FRV gives Hexagon access to FRVs renewable energy portfolio and development expertise. The Spain-based organisation currently has nine grid-connected, utility-scale solar farms in Australia at various stages of construction and commissioning. The MoU indicates that FRV-owned renewable power (existing or new build) will provide electricity to Hexagons hydrogen and ammonia production facilities. And, although not specified, the MoU hints that hydrogen production will be carried out via this renewable electricity, suggesting auto-reforming methods will be used. Project Phoenix And one of three CCS projects given funding by the Wyoming Energy Authority will be a blue ammonia production plant near Evanston, Wyoming: North Shore Energy and Starwood Energy Group, Project Phoenix, requested $4,262,500 for a joint exploration in the development of a state-of-the-art ammonia complex with on-site carbon capture and sequestration capabilities at existing depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and processing facilities near Evanston, WY. When fully developed, the project will be a very low-cost producer of low carbon ammonia, will permanently store CO2 underground, will re-purpose existing infrastructure, and retain and create new jobs in southwest Wyoming.Wyoming Energy Authority Announces Energy Resources Council Approves Three Projects (download press release), 20 Jan 2022 Starwood Energy is also a key investor in the Gulf Coast Ammonia project in Texas. Starwood CEO Himanshu Saxena commented recently that he considers hydrogen & ammonia to be key elements of his organisations long-term energy strategy, and that government support for the fledgling sector is crucial: We expect not just green hydrogen, but also blue hydrogen – and blue and green ammonia – to play an important role in energy transition. This is critical not just for the power sector but also to decarbonise the transportation and industrial sectors. However, the cost to produce blue or green hydrogen is still prohibitive, and we are still a bit farther away from widescale commercialisation and use. Cost to produce has to come down, and the transportation and storage infrastructure has to be built before this will truly have an impact. The BBB bill that just passed the house has significant incentives for production of hydrogen, and we believe those incentives, combined with significant demand for hydrogen and ammonia, will enable this space to continue to evolve.
