TOKYO, March 25 (Reuters) - JERA said on Monday it will
delay a planned demonstration of co-firing 20% of ammonia with
coal at its Hekinan thermal power station in central Japan from
March 26 to in or after the end of this month due to a delay in
trial operation of equipment.
    Japan's top power generator said earlier this month that it
would conduct what it said will be the world's first trial using
a large amount of the gas at a major commercial plant.
    Safety is its top priority and the trial operation of
equipment and other things have required time, JERA said, adding
that it would make an announcement once the trial has begun.
    JERA, a joint venture between Tokyo Electric Power  9501.T  
and Chubu Electric Power  9502.T , plans to conduct the trial,
together with heavy machinery maker IHI  7013.T , for about
three months.
