Here’s how ammonia will become a key player in the future energy system
Ammonia is emerging as a key player in the energy transition, offering solutions for decarbonising industries and enabling a scalable hydrogen economy. Learn about its potential, challenges, and strategic implications.
As the world races to meet net-zero emissions targets, decarbonisation is not an option but a necessity. Ammonia is a versatile energy carrier. It will play a role in global climate strategies, so investors, energy executives and policymakers need to understand the opportunities and hurdles it presents.
We explore how green ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen via electrolysis, can serve as an effective hydrogen carrier, decarbonise shipping, fertilisers, and support low-emission power generation.
"Ammonia will play a critical role in the global energy transition, but its widespread adoption will depend on overcoming barriers such as technology maturity, cost competitiveness, and safety considerations. Strategic partnerships and targeted investments will be essential to position ammonia as a viable low-carbon alternative."

The green hydrogen hierarchy
Green hydrogen
Green hydrogen is often thought to be a silver bullet capable of decarbonising various applications within the energy and transport sectors. Yet knowing exactly where and how to deploy this technology can help deliver scale and cost efficiencies, as well as substantiate a business case for investment.
How we get to 100 million tonnes of green hydrogen
Green hydrogen
Almost all hydrogen used today comes from fossil fuels, leading to annual CO2e emissions roughly equal to those of Japan. So what will it take for the world to make the switch from grey to green hydrogen?
