Powering industries with low-carbon ammonia

Low-carbon ammonia is expected to play a key role in decarbonising industrial applications, such as power generation, maritime shipping, and the fertiliser industry, as well as serving as an efficient hydrogen carrier. Despite high production costs, when compared to conventional ammonia, its broad applications and significant decarbonisation potential could make it crucial for achieving net-zero emissions. To fully realise the potential of low carbon ammonia, incentivising policies, as well as investment, will be needed to accelerate production, reduce the green premium and deliver lower carbon industrial applications.
