LOTTE Fine Chemical has completed a port-to-ship ammonia bunkering operation at the Port of Ulsan, fueling EXMAR’s newly-launched Antwerpen vessel with 600 tons of ammonia fuel originating from Envision Energy’s renewable ammonia production plant in Chifeng, China. The ammonia fuel will power sea trials of the Antwerpen off the South Korean coast.
(Shanghai, April 29, 2026) Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology and energy transformation, today announced its participation in the pilot phase of the AEA Ammonia Certification System, a global certification system designed by the Ammonia Energy Association (AEA) to facilitate the transparent, trusted international trade of low-emission ammonia.
(WASHINGTON D.C., April 27, 2026)—The Ammonia Energy Association (AEA) has partnered with MiQ to launch the AEA Ammonia Certification System, a global certification system designed to facilitate the transparent, trusted international trade of low-emission ammonia.
Four Indian renewable ammonia producers – ACME, Jakson Green, SCC and Oriana Power – have signed binding, 10-year supply contracts to deliver ammonia to domestic fertiliser manufacturers.
A new study from the pair has found that, with the right regulatory settings, verified low-carbon ammonia marine fuel produced in China can achieve cost parity with VLSFO and LNG at current prices, even before additional subsidies or rewards are applied.
New academic research from the University College of London recommends immediate acceleration of ammonia deployment, helping to establish marine ammonia fuel within “commercial niches” by the end of the decade. While LNG and methanol generate some benefits, they risk competing with – rather than enabling – the long-term solution that is ZNZ (zero or near-zero emissions) marine ammonia fuel.
China-based Shuangliang Group announced that it has delivered sixteen of its electrolysis units to ACME for the first stage of its renewable ammonia project in Duqm, Oman.
Technology provider Talus, certification provider CleanCounts (formerly M-RETS), and farmer’s co-operative Central Farm Service plan to deploy two modular ammonia synthesis plants in Minnesota, producing up to 20 tons per day of anhydrous ammonia for use as fertilizer by local farmers.
Envision has delivered its first shipment of renewable, RFNBO-compliant ammonia from its production site in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to LOTTE Fine Chemical’s chemical import terminal in Ulsan, South Korea.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored progress at AM Green's AMGA-K1 renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India, including architecture for renewable electricity supply, technology partners, RFNBO pre-certification and offtake agreements. India could potentially become a key global ammonia bunker fuel hub, and has an ecosystem of RFNBO-compliant ammonia production sites emerging.
