Join us to explore the AEA’s newly released gas detection whitepaper. Our speakers will answer your questions on best practices for ammonia safety.
In our September Episode of Project Features, project partner Lapis Carbon Solutions and LSB Industries walk us through their CCS ammonia project in El Dorado, Arkansas. Permitting is expected to be finalized next year, followed by commencement of CCS operations in late 2026.
23,500 tons of ammonia certified under the Fertilizer Institute’s Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) Program were loaded onto the Trafigura-operated Oceanic Star in Louisiana last month. The cargo is en route to Antwerp, where chemicals and materials manufacturer Envalior will use the low-carbon ammonia as a feedstock to produce the monomer caprolactam and downstream resins.
Spain-based explosives and chemicals manufacturer Maxam has announced the inauguration of a new renewable ammonia plant at its manufacturing site outside Burgos in the north of the country.

Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani unveiled his organisation’s future, renewable-based plans at the recent AGM in Mumbai. Along with scaling solar and electrolyser manufacturing, Reliance aims to become a “major producer and exporter” of hydrogen and derivatives, including 3 million tons per year of “renewable hydrogen equivalent production” by 2032.
At the recent GasTech event in Italy, new agreements were signed for the development and execution of floating ammonia cracking (MOL and KBR), gas-based ammonia production (SBM Offshore), and renewable electricity-based ammonia production (H2Carrier).
The Hydrogen Council has released its first Global Hydrogen Compass report, a state-of-play look at the industry. Ammonia is currently the largest offtake sector for clean hydrogen, accounting for 43% of the 3.6 million tons per year of binding offtake secured to date. Policy and regulatory clarity will be key to locking in further offtake, and developing the impressive global project pipeline.
At the recent Japan-India Summit, the governments committed to cooperation on R&D, development of policy, regulations, market mechanisms, infrastructure, and the establishment of a hydrogen/ammonia trade corridor between India and Japan.
At the recent Tokyo International Conference on African Development, Japan-based Mizuho financial group signed MoUs with the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme and Tsubame BHB for project development in Africa.
