IMO: net-zero framework adoption postponed

Julian Atchison October 23, 2025

The outcome leaves the global shipping industry with a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but – for now – no detailed pathway to reach those targets. The result also leaves a certainty gap, delaying critical investment in zero or near-zero (ZNZ) fuels and propulsion technologies. Despite the setback, work on finer details and mechanisms to be included in the framework continued this week in London.

Market-based Mechanisms for Low-Emission Ammonia-based Fertilizer

Ash Khetpal

Foodstuff buyers are key to unlocking a critical decarbonization pathway for ammonia vis-à-vis investments in low-emission fertilizers, which represent ~70% of the use case for ammonia today. I will discuss how market-based mechanisms like book and claim in particular has the power to activate the green ammonia market. *Please note, this presentation will not be made publicly available.

Partnering for Technology Deployment across Asia

Rahmad PribadiNobuhiko Kubota

Pupuk Indonesia and IHI conducted the country’s first successful ammonia coal co-firing demonstration this year in west Java, together with Indonesian utility PLN Indonesia Power. The partnership brings together two critical players in the Asian ammonia market: Pupuk – which owns and operates nearly 3% of total global ammonia production – and IHI –  a world-leader in technology solutions for ammonia-fired power generation. Hear directly from two first mover organisations that will play a leading role in the ammonia energy transition in Asia and beyond.

The Blue Point Joint Venture

Henrik RasmussenLinda DempseyTeruya Asai

In April 2025, the partners made a final investment decision and agreed to a joint venture structure for the Blue Point mega-project in Louisiana: a $4 billion facility which will have a nameplate production capacity of around 1.4 million tons of CCS-based ammonia per year. Topsoe will provide its SynCOR Ammonia™ process (including autothermal technology and ammonia synthesis loop) for the project. Explore the journey to date for one of the world’s leading transitional ammonia production projects, and how all the partners have aligned for operations to commence in 2029.
