Duiker Clean Technologies and new partners Plant One have chosen the Port of Rotterdam as the location for the installation of the AMMONEX ammonia cracking pilot plant.
The Fertilizer Institute has released a new edition of its calculation methodology for the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) certification scheme, expanding the program to include key ammonia derivatives for agricultural and industrial use.
To highlight the progress and current status of the AEA’s Ammonia Certification System pilot, we recently held an exploratory webinar session. Learn about key system elements, what the Certification System is designed to achieve.
Wärtsilä will provide its four-stroke, ammonia-powered engine to Skarv Shipping Solutions for deployment on a new timber transport vessel to be built in China. Delivery of the full equipment set – including fuel gas supply system, release mitigation system, and a selective catalytic reduction system for exhaust treatment – is anticipated in late 2026.
In our January episode of Project Features, we explored a now-operational renewable ammonia project in Uzbekistan, the historical use of water electrolysis for hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizer production, and future plans in the Central Asian nation.
A new long-term agreement between the two parties will see Atlas Agro supply low-carbon fertiliser to Tereos from its production site, the Uberaba Green Fertiliser plant. Tereos aims to decarbonise the fertiliser supply for its over 300,000 hectares of sugarcane production in Brazil.
The EU has set a legally binding climate target for 2040, at a 90% GHG emission reduction versus 1990 levels. But, while the 2030 emission target can theoretically be met with limited modifications to existing ammonia production plants in the EU, new technology pathway choices will have to be made well before 2040 to ensure compliance. We explore some of the options, and projects in progress.
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.
Explore the AEA’s now-operational Certification System. AEA Certification Project Manager Madhav Acharya will be joined in conversation by Nick Cook (CF Industries), and Vibeke Rasmussen (Yara Clean Ammonia).
In our November episode of Project Features, Juwö Poroton and Ammonigy joined us to explore their “CO2-free brick production” project, demonstrating the use of cracked ammonia fuel to fire bricks in Wöllstein, Germany. Though hurdles remain for the deployment of the solution at the necessary scale, promising operational results and quality-checked final products were achieved, and progress is being made towards emissions mitigation.
