The Green Ammonia Boom: Applications Beyond Fertilizer in the Energy and Marine Sectors

Green Ammonia Market
Green Ammonia Market

In 2023, the global green ammonia market is projected to be valued at USD 82.4 million, with expectations of rapid growth driven by increasing demand across sectors such as agriculture and power generation. As sustainability efforts intensify, green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, is gaining prominence as a clean alternative to traditional ammonia. With a staggering compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 68%, the market is poised for transformative expansion, forecasted to reach a valuation of USD 14,761.3 million by 2033. This surge underscores the growing importance of green ammonia in reducing carbon emissions and supporting global energy transitions.

Consumption of green ammonia is being dictated by the rising demand from the shipping industry. In addition, green hydrogen production initiatives are projected to boost the demand for green ammonia in regions like Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

To contain carbon emissions, the governments of different economies have established several projects and goals. For instance, the EU aims to reduce carbon emissions by 55% by the end of 2030. Since the process of producing green ammonia is 100% carbon-free and renewable, robust moves to recede the carbon emissions are expected to fuel the demand for green ammonia.

The market is further fueled by rising investments in the establishment of green ammonia units. For example, in August 2021, Acme Solar Holdings Ltd revealed plans to construct a green ammonia facility valued at US$ 3.5 billion in Duqm to distribute green ammonia to Asia and Europe.

Significant prospects for the expansion of the green economy in Europe are materializing owing to a surging number of government initiatives, and fuel cell projects. This is projected to create opportunities for the green ammonia industry.
