About
History
The Ammonia Energy Association (AEA) is a global non-profit industry association that promotes the responsible use of ammonia in a sustainable energy economy.
The AEA’s mission encompasses both the decarbonization of ammonia for existing applications, including fertilizers, chemicals, explosives, and other industrial processes, as well as the adoption of low-emission ammonia in new applications, including direct use as a fuel for electric power generation or maritime transport, and indirect use as a hydrogen carrier and carbon-free energy commodity.
Established in 2004, the AEA membership includes 260 corporations around the world; in 2020 it launched its first regional arm, AEA Australia. Among other initiatives, the AEA is seeking to facilitate the establishment of a global Ammonia Certification System.
Consistent with global antitrust standards, the AEA’s activities, are organized across four strategic pillars: knowledge stewardship, collaboration, program development, and advocacy. Read our Principles Document to learn more.
Join us, and help us to accelerate the adoption of ammonia energy.
