Certification

The AEA’s Ammonia Certification System is now operational.

We launched the pilot phase of our system in September 2025. Any organization engaged in the ammonia value chain is invited to participate – including producers, traders and distributors, and consumers.

The pilot encompasses:

  • “pre-certification” of facilities that have not yet been built,
  • “certification” of ammonia to provide full disclosure of the environmental attributes associated with a ton of product, and
  • a global “registry” that ensures a robust chain of custody as certificates are generated, transferred across the value chain, and retired.

For information on how to participate in the pilot or to download our system documents, learn more about our  Ammonia Certification System.

 

Membership

AEA brings together companies driving the transition of ammonia from an industrial chemical to a scalable, low-emission energy solution. Our members include technology licensors, EPC firms, energy majors, maritime shipping lines, electricity and gas utilities, fertilizer producers, chemicals manufacturers, and project developers working across production, safety, distribution, trading, power generation, and energy storage.

By joining the Ammonia Energy Association, members gain access to trusted data, industry collaboration, and a global platform to help shape the future of ammonia as a clean energy solution. Membership connects organizations to peers, policymakers, and technical experts working to advance decarbonization, enable safe deployment, and accelerate the adoption of ammonia as a sustainable energy commodity.

Conference

The Ammonia Energy Conference offers attendees the opportunity to learn from and network with key technology and project developers.

Beyond presenting the latest technical information, the event ultimately aims to accelerate the adoption of ammonia in a sustainable energy economy, with additional programming exclusively for AEA Members, and with the workshops of the Implementation Conference focused on setting the agenda for the Ammonia Energy Association moving forward.

UCL: accelerate ammonia deployment, avoid risking capital lock-in

Julian Atchison March 16, 2026

New academic research from the University College of London recommends immediate acceleration of ammonia deployment, helping to establish marine ammonia fuel within “commercial niches” by the end of the decade. While LNG and methanol generate some benefits, they risk competing with – rather than enabling – the long-term solution that is ZNZ (zero or near-zero emissions) marine ammonia fuel.
