2025 is a critical year for the adoption of ammonia fuel in shipping. Here, we preview important upcoming meetings of the International Maritime Organization, what regulatory gaps are being filled by this work, potential candidates for decarbonization measures, and progress in engine development. All this sets the scene for incredible progress to be made in the coming years.

With commercial deployment scheduled to start this June, both WinGD and MAN ES’s under-development ammonia fueled engines have reported promising results across performance, ammonia safety and emissions optimisation parameters. MAN ES and MITSUI have also commenced a commercial-scale prototype test of the MITSUI-MAN ES large-bore, low-speed, two-stroke ammonia engine in Tamano, Japan.

Trinidad & Tobago: future production pathways for the world’s largest ammonia exporter
Article

To explore Trinidad & Tobago' s existing ammonia production capacity and the new imperative to decarbonize, the Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago and Argus Media joined Project Features last month. To maintain its market share in key export destinations and meet climate goals, Trinidad & Tobago has a series of decarbonized ammonia projects underway, including the use of wind, solar and gas-based CCS pathways.

Ammonia Energy Conference 2024: Ammonia for Maritime Propulsion is full speed ahead!
Article

During the recent 2024 Ammonia Energy Conference, we explored all the latest developments in ammonia-powered maritime propulsion. Engine makers reported strong progress ahead of deployment in 2026, the same year that large-scale vessels will hit the water. The panel explored early operations for the ammonia-powered A-Tug in Japan, as well as ancillary technology systems required for maritime ammonia engines, catalyst after-treatment systems for emission mitigation, and the potential for fuel additives to boost ammonia engine performance.
