Green Ammonia Market Trends

  Growing Demand for Sustainable Fertilisers to Support the Market Growth

  
  

Growing agricultural productivity, notably in Asia and Africa, is driving up fertiliser demand on a global scale. The Food and Agriculture Organisation reports that overall fertiliser usage rose 5.4% from 2021 to 2022 year over year, with additional increases anticipated in the future. But the increasing use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers has decreased soil quality, necessitating the development of sustainable agriculture solutions. To meet this need, chemical manufacturers are converting to eco-friendly and sustainable goods, such green ammonia. Sales of green ammonia are anticipated to increase dramatically as a result of this trend. Additionally, since fertilisers, such as ammonia, are an essential component of the green ammonia production process, an increase in the demand for fertilisers is expected to result in a significant rise in ammonia consumption. At first, only a select few customers could be able to pay the higher price of green ammonia. However, when this sustainable option gains greater traction in the market, more consumers might start to use it. Long-term, this would result in widespread use of green ammonia in the industrial and fertiliser markets, which would fuel the expansion of the green ammonia market CAGR globally.

Since ammonia has a far higher energy density compared to its volume than liquid hydrogen does, it can transfer much greater amounts of energy in a less amount of space. Ammonia may be stored and transported more conveniently because it liquefies at -33 °C. The need for intense cooling while transporting liquid hydrogen, on the other hand, necessitates up to an additional 40% of the energy content. As a result, green ammonia transport is not only more convenient than green hydrogen, but also safer and more economical. Ammonia as a marine fuel is currently being tested in a number of projects. By 2024, Yara hopes to supply an upgraded North Sea supply ship with ammonia for use as a marine fuel. A viable alternative to tamoxifen is the export of renewable green energy from rural places with abundant wind, sun, or geothermal energy to larger urban centers. In the long run, renewable ammonia is probably going to replace fossil fuel ammonia as the primary fuel for shipping renewable energy across continents because of all these advantageous factors. Thus, driving the green ammonia market revenue.

Green Ammonia Market Segment Insights

Green Ammonia Gasifier Technology Insights
