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.

Status of renewable ammonia projects and technology licensors

Kevin Rouwenhorst November 18, 2025

One of the key steps in project development remains the selection of the licensor for the renewable ammonia synthesis loop. We explore different technology offerings from leading licensors – including KBR, Topsoe, Thyssenkrupp Uhde, Casale, Stamicarbon, and GoodChina – as well as the growing list of projects where they are being deployed.

Ammonia Synthesis - Local, Clean and Green

Yossi Englander

GenCell has developed a novel approach to decentralized green ammonia synthesis relying on intermittent renewable energy. We will present a summary of our experience to date developing a technology and device relying on electrochemical ammonia synthesis from water and air, operating at ambient conditions and suggesting a sustainable and clean alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process.

Partnering to create one of the world’s first decarbonised value chains

Andrew Clennett

This presentation explores progress on the Good Earth Green Hydrogen & Ammonia (GEHGA) project in Moree, NSW, including the recently-achieved Final Investment Decision. Not only will green ammonia be able to be used as a direct-injection fertiliser, but can also be used to decarbonise irrigation pumps, farm equipment, and transport trucks: a full value chain solution.

Presentation

Enhancing project viability with carbon services

Carl Richardson

Life Cycle Assessments, Commodity Certificates, and Emission Reduction credits (VCM) are all examples of carbon services that can enhance a project’s bankability. These have particular implications for ammonia-related projects, with strong opportunities on offer in the Australian setting.
