Harmonised certification – opportunities and challenges across different markets

Certification should be comprehensive and allow producers to serve multiple markets. But with standards and regulation still under development and liable to change in many markets, long-term offtake for clean ammonia projects is proving a challenge. Learn more about discussions at our recent annual conference featuring Madhav Acharya, Emily Wolf (Ambient Fuel), Claire Behar (Hy Stor Energy), Domagoj Baresic (UCL Energy Institute) and Patrick Hastwell (KBR Advisory).

Impact of certification on project finance

Uniform certification will help solve the chicken and egg relationship between offtake and project development. Long-term offtake will be easier with clear, harmonised certification standards, which will in turn have a positive impact on project funding for clean ammonia projects. Our panel discussion in Atlanta featured Vibeke Rasmussen (Yara), Ed Davis (Loan Program Office,US DoE), Tomoaki Ichida (Mitsui OSK Lines), Oleksiy Tatarenko (RMI) and Dolf Gielen (World Bank Group).

Ensuring credible data inputs for ammonia certification

A “cradle to grave” approach is important for developing ammonia certification systems. Input data for certification should be based on widely recognised metrics, and all measurements and testing should be subject to authentication and third-party auditing. Learn more about this panel discussion at our 2023 annual conference featuring Jennifer Beach (Starfire Energy), Lara Owens (MIQ), Jim Seely (Authentix), Selim Sevikel (Global CCS Institute) and Rajiv Sabharwal (Bureau Veritas).

Scaling clean ammonia: a World Bank perspective

To scale clean ammonia production from 1.4 million tonnes under construction today to the projected 269 million tonnes needed by 2030, key risks including offtake, uncertain price and demand need to be addressed. Potential solutions include technological innovation, a clear mapping of supply and demand, and harmonised standards and certification. Learn more about our 2023 annual conference keynote featuring Dolf Gielen from the World Bank.
