GreenH has taken a final investment decision on its Slagen renewable ammonia project, plus two other electrolytic hydrogen projects on Norway’s coast. Nel ASA has been chosen to supply electrolyser technologies for Slagen and a series of electrolytic hydrogen projects in Norway, and will add a 1 GW production line for its new “Next Generation Pressurized Alkaline system” at its factory in Herøya.
Great Oceans Green Ammonia is Sri Lanka’s “pioneering” renewable ammonia and methanol developer. 4 GW of offshore wind, onshore solar and battery storage will not only help decarbonise Sri Lanka’s power sector, but produce methanol and ammonia fuel: 500,000 tons per year by 2030. Sri Lanka sits directly on the primary east-west shipping corridor connecting Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and East Africa.
Beginning in Rotterdam, the newly-opened route visits Oslo, Brevik, and Bremerhaven to deliver fertilizer weekly, and will be serviced by the ammonia-powered Yara Eyde from later this year.
Meet EXMAR and Lloyd’s Register, two marine first-movers preparing for the use of ammonia as a marine fuel. Learn about EXMAR’s ammonia-fueled gas carriers due for delivery this year, and a partnership with Lloyd’s Register to develop guidelines for the safe use of ammonia cargo as fuel.
Burckhardt Compression will supply compression technology to Itochu’s under development ammonia bunkering vessel. The vessel is under construction by Sasaki Shipbuilding and is scheduled for delivery in 2027.
Provided robust safeguards are in place, ammonia ship-to-ship transfers are technically and operationally feasible at Raffles Reserve Anchorage in Singapore. Combined HAZID and HAZOP analyses identified zero high-level risks and eleven medium-level risks, and the report includes a series of detailed operational recommendations for the first pilot ammonia StS transfer in Singapore port.
The trio plan to build on a series of already successful collaborations between CF Industries and Trafigura, and push forward bunkering logistics planning for marine ammonia fuel on the US Gulf Coast and northwest Europe.
Via ENOVA, the Norwegian government has awarded $43 million to Azane for the development of three ammonia terminals, and $29 million to Amon Maritime for the construction of three new ammonia-powered bulk carriers.
Anglo-Eastern announced that the first cohort has successfully completed its inaugural Pilot Training Course on Ammonia as a Marine Fuel. Already the ship manager for the ammonia-fueled vessel Fortescue Green Pioneer, Anglo-Eastern will soon take on that responsibility for a series of vessels coming out of Chinese shipyards, managing vessels for CMB.TECH.
Despite the successes and progress made in 2025, the year remains a missed opportunity for ammonia energy. The first complete supply chains for renewable ammonia are emerging, and some 600,000 tons of annual production capacity is set to be online in northeast China early next year. Maritime engines, cracking, and power & heat technology solutions also made their mark, moving from feasibility into deployment. But disappointing outcomes at the IMO and government support that failed to spark market development remains an issue, with plenty of critical, detail-heavy work ahead of us in 2026.
