2025: an ammonia energy rollercoaster

Julian Atchison December 17, 2025

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.

$110 billion committed to 500-plus mature projects worldwide: new Hydrogen Council report

Julian Atchison September 15, 2025

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.

Gas-based reforming for low-emission ammonia production: ATR, POX, and two-step reforming

Kevin Rouwenhorst August 06, 2025

Current global ammonia production is mostly based on gas-fed, two-stage reforming processs. Decarbonization of this existing production capacity – as well as new newbuild low-emission capacity also based on gas – can utilize an industrially-proven suite of alternative technologies and processes, including autothermal reforming, and partial oxidation combined with CCS. This article discusses some of the technologies available from various tech providers, and reference projects in operation.
