Ammonia (NH3) is the second most produced chemical by mass after sulphuric acid. It is vital for food production because it is used to produce nitrogen-based fertilizers. Unlike conventional ammonia, green ammonia is produced from green hydrogen and has reduced carbon intensity, making green ammonia a possible low-carbon or carbon-free fuel and energy carrier. The use of green ammonia provides significant opportunities for the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors like shipping.
This analyst note captures and analyzes the recent developments in green ammonia projects across the globe.
