Global Ammonia Certification As Enabler for Accelerated Investment and Financing
Presentation

Ammonia can be a key clean hydrogen carrier for the coming decades. It offers the prospect of a new clean energy commodity that can be traded widely. However, such trade will depend critically on a harmonized international certification system for the embedded greenhouse gas emissions. This presentation will elaborate the market potential as well as the investment and financing needs based on new analysis. It will draw on the recent clean hydrogen certification experience to suggest solutions for the way ahead.

Green ammonia: Key for the German energy transition
Presentation

To reach climate neutrality by 2045, Germany needs large amounts of green hydrogen and its derivatives. Green ammonia is set to become the first derivative received in large numbers in the short- to medium term and is set to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation as both transport medium and in direct use. The newly updated German hydrogen strategy highlights this and sets concrete targets and proposes actions. What will be the role of ammonia from Australia and how do we advance collaboration and trade?

New ammonia import infrastructure under development across Europe (and beyond)
Article

New import terminals, energy hubs, bunker facilities & upgrades to existing ammonia storage facilities are underway across Europe. This week, we explore new project announcements in Wilhelmshaven, Brunsbüttel, Rotterdam and Immingham. We visit Taiwan for another ammonia import terminal announcement, and look at a new partnership between thyssenkrupp and ADNOC to deploy large-scale cracking - the “last piece of the puzzle” for global ammonia trading.

H2Global launches first green ammonia tender
Article

H2Global has launched its first tender process for the import of “green” ammonia into Europe, with a €360 million, ten year contract on offer beginning in 2024. In Germany, public gas company VNG and Total Eren will work towards ammonia imports into Rostock from 2028.
