Ammonia is one of the most critical building blocks in the global chemical industry. It feeds over half the world’s population through nitrogen fertilizers and is rapidly gaining momentum as a clean hydrogen carrier and carbon-free fuel, especially in shipping and power generation.
However, conventional ammonia production is responsible for around 1% of global CO₂ emissions, primarily due to its dependence on fossil-based hydrogen and high energy input. As decarbonization goals accelerate worldwide, ammonia producers must adopt new technologies that reduce emissions, increase energy efficiency, and ensure long-term sustainability.
Industrial Applications of Ammonia
Beyond its central role in fertilizers, ammonia supports a wide range of applications, including:
- Feedstock for urea, nitric acid, and nitrate-based fertilizers
- Hydrogen carrier for long-distance transport and storage
- Fuel in decarbonized shipping and power generation
- Base chemical for explosives, synthetic fuels, and clean methanol
- Building block for future e-fuel and SAF platforms
