LOTTE Fine Chemical has completed a port-to-ship ammonia bunkering operation at the Port of Ulsan, fueling EXMAR’s newly-launched Antwerpen vessel with 600 tons of ammonia fuel originating from Envision Energy’s renewable ammonia production plant in Chifeng, China. The ammonia fuel will power sea trials of the Antwerpen off the South Korean coast.
Certification
The AEA’s Ammonia Certification System is now operational.
We launched the pilot phase of our system in October 2025, followed by an official launch with registry builder & operator MiQ in April 2026.
Any organization engaged in the ammonia value chain is invited to participate – including producers, traders and distributors, and consumers. Confirmed pilot participants include Envision Energy, with other announcements to come in the following weeks.
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 Association’s Conferences (APAC and Global events each year) offer 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, as well as setting the agenda for the Ammonia Energy Association moving forward. AEA Members receive discounted registration to both events, plus access to exclusive programming and networking opportunities.
Learn more about Ammonia Energy APAC 2026 (Brisbane, June 15-17).
LEAD: Low-Emission Ammonia Data
Our Low-Emission Ammonia Data (LEAD) files deliver trusted, transparent insight into global low-emission ammonia plants, infrastructure, and vessels. LEAD data files are available at no cost to members and for purchase by the public, supporting market analysis, project tracking, and strategic decision-making. LEAD is used by project developers, technology providers, investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders across the ammonia and hydrogen value chain.
Members also benefit from exclusive LEAD Office Hours, offering expert-led guidance, data walkthroughs, and discussion of emerging trends.
