LEAD: Low-Emission Ammonia Plants
The AEA’s Low-Emission Ammonia Plants database contains details on all the low-emission (and transitional) ammonia production plants that have been announced. This provides updates on project implementation and insights regarding the future availability of low-emission ammonia.
The full dataset can now be browsed through the map below.
The database is growing quickly and now includes 516 projects (with 635 phases of expansion, as of May 2025), comprising a total of 457.7 million tons of ammonia capacity.
By 2030, we could see 46.6 million tons of this capacity to be operational:
- 4.1 million tons is already Operational (up to Q2 2025)
- 14.0 MT is Firm (eg, under construction / FID)
- 28.6 MT is Mature (eg, offtake / EPC selected / FEED)
Key conclusions
- Within the large funnel of projects, a significant number of projects are maturing to meet the low-emission ammonia demand.
- Clear demand signals and regulatory certainty will be required to move more of these projects towards FID.
