Green Ammonia Market Analysis:

The rising demand for sustainable fertilizers due to the increased decarbonization efforts in the agricultural sector is a key factor driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the implementation of supportive government policies and subsidies on the production of green hydrogen and ammonia resulting in higher investments in renewable energy-based processes are creating a positive market outlook. For example, on January 8, 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy announced funding for several projects to decarbonize ammonia production. GTI Energy, in collaboration with Blue Sky Infrastructure and Aker Carbon Capture, will conduct a USD 1.5 Million pre-FEED study to implement carbon capture and storage at the Mosaic Faustina ammonia facility in Louisiana. Additionally, Ammobia, alongside Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and other partners, received USD 3 Million to advance a novel ammonia synthesis process that integrates reaction and separation steps, potentially reducing energy consumption and emissions by up to 95%. Moreover, continual advancements in electrolysis and Haber-Bosch modifications are enhancing production efficiency while reducing costs.

Furthermore, the growing number of corporate commitments to net-zero emissions and carbon neutrality are fostering partnerships and long-term supply agreements, providing an impetus to the market. For example, on December 9, 2024, Gentari, through its subsidiary Gentari Renewables India Castor One Pvt. Ltd., entered into a power purchase agreement with AM green ammonia India Pvt. Ltd. for round-the-clock green power of 650 MW. To fulfill the commitment, Gentari will develop approximately 2,400 MWp of renewable energy capacity that includes solar and wind projects, integrated with 350 MW/2,100 MWh of energy storage in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. This collaboration will further support AM Green's green ammonia production facilities toward India's net-zero objectives. Besides this, volatility in fossil fuel prices is motivating the transition to renewable ammonia sources. In addition to this, development in renewable energy capacity, including solar and wind, is further increasing the possibility of producing green ammonia on a huge scale. Furthermore, the increasing focus on hydrogen carriers for energy storage and transport is promoting further adoption that, in turn, is increasing the green ammonia market share.

Green Ammonia Market Trends:

Innovations Improving Production Efficiency

Electrolysis and ammonia synthesis advancements are improving the efficiency of green ammonia production, thereby strengthening the positive outlook for the green ammonia market. For example, researchers from RMIT University released a new, low-energy method to produce green ammonia using liquid metal on September 19, 2024. This technique is a sustainable alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process, which is currently taking more than 2% of global energy consumption and around 2% of carbon emissions. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) allow for higher hydrogen production with lower energy consumption. New catalysts, like ruthenium-based alternatives, reduce the pressure and temperature of the Haber-Bosch process, making energy use more efficient. Modular and decentralized ammonia production systems are being explored to integrate directly with renewable energy sources, minimizing transmission losses. Digitalization is also increasing the total plant productivity, reducing downtime, and improving operational efficiency through AI-driven process control and predictive maintenance. 

Increasing Investments and Strategic Collaborations

Governments and private investors are devoting significant funds to scale up green ammonia production. Public funding initiatives include grants and subsidies for renewable hydrogen projects that are accelerating commercialization. To repurpose existing infrastructure, oil and gas companies are coming into the market through joint ventures with renewable energy firms. Global shipping companies and fertilizer manufacturers sign supply contracts to facilitate steady access to low-carbon ammonia, supporting sectoral decarbonization goals and amplifying the value chain by strengthening. Ammonia producers and industrial consumers sign long-term offtake agreements and form strategic collaborations to stabilize demand and find financing. For instance, Hygenco Green Energies signed an agreement on November 26, 2024, to collaborate with Topsoe from Denmark to become the licensor of its green ammonia plant at Gopalpur in Odisha. The unit will come into production by 2027 and represents one of the first significant large-scale green ammonia projects on the subcontinent.

Latest Industry News:

The market is also being driven by increasing investments and capacity expansions:

• August 27, 2024: In Denmak, Skovgaard Energy, Vestas, and Topsoe inaugurated a green ammonia plant. This facility demonstrates a dynamic approach by adapting to fluctuations in renewable energy sources, enhancing cost-effectiveness. The Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program contributed about EUR 11 Million to the project.
• October 18, 2024: Ohmium International partnered with SwitcH2 BV to supply 300 MW of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer systems for an offshore floating green hydrogen and ammonia project. Green hydrogen will be produced by these electrolyzers using solar and wind energy and treated saltwater. On SwitcH2's 268-meter Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, the green hydrogen will be transformed into green ammonia. The project, which the Dutch government backs, has been given preliminary approval by the Norwegian certifying body DNV and is to start producing green ammonia by 2029.
• January 31, 2025: Avaada Group announced a partnership with Casale to establish India's largest green ammonia plant in Gopalpur, Odisha, with a production capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day. The facility will operate entirely on renewable energy, utilizing Casale's advanced ammonia production technology to ensure a carbon-free process. This initiative aligns with India's net-zero ambitions and represents a significant advancement in sustainable industrial development.
