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.

Commercial Project Execution - ammonia-to-power solutions in Pohang, South Korea

Seonghoon Woo Seungmin Kim

In April 2025, the pair agreed to collaborate with the city of Pohang, South Korea to deploy a 1MW, ammonia-fed, distributed power generation system next year. The partners already have plans to scale up the installation to a 40 MW system by 2028-29, providing ammonia-fueled, carbon-free electricity to clean electricity-hungry customers in Pohang. Supported by national legislation that aims to accelerate the rollout of zero-carbon distributed power generation in the country over the next 5-10 years, Amogy and GS E&C are targeting a critical, potentially lucrative market in South Korea. Join us to learn more about the partnership, and related…

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.
