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.

Powering the Seas Together

Luca Pilenga Semi Kim Jeff Benoit

In February 2025, Baker Hughes and Hanwha agreed to jointly develop a new small-size (~16 MW power range), 100% ammonia-capable turbine for maritime propulsion applications, to be deployed onboard Hanwha Ocean’s LNG carriers and container ships by 2028. A full gas turbine factory engine test with 100% ammonia is planned to be completed by the end of 2027. The combustion system itself is being developed by Power Systems Mfg., LLC (PSM), and will enable the turbine to be both fully decarbonized and “fuel-flexible” – 100% ammonia combustion to 100% natural gas combustion, and any variable blend in between while meeting…
