Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Green Ammonia Market," the green ammonia market was valued at $0.02 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $6.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 80.1% from 2022 to 2031.Ammonia is the second-most widely produced commodity chemical around the globe and is mostly utilized as a fertilizer in the agriculture industry, a sector that is under increasing scrutiny due to its environmental impact. The production of green ammonia is gaining prominence due to growing demand for making process 100% renewable and carbon-free. Ammonia could come to the rescue by easily capturing, storing, and transporting hydrogen for use in emission-free fuel cells and turbines. Efforts are also undergoing to combust ammonia directly in power plants and ship engines. Several chemical companies are developing green ammonia, a route to ammonia in which hydrogen derived from water electrolysis powered by alternative energy replaces hydrocarbon-based Hydrogen, making the production of ammonia virtually carbon dioxide-free. The Haber-Bosch process is a widely used method to produce ammonia on a commercial scale which can be extracted again via a thermal decomposition and separation process. In addition to the main use of ammonia in the fertilizer industry, green ammonia holds the potential to play a role in other end-use applications.
