GREEN AMMONIA FROM GREEN HYDROGEN MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Wind Power Hydrogen Production and Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production

• Wind Power Hydrogen Production: Wind energy directly converts electric power from wind farms and water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen gas by way of the electrolytic process. The green hydrogen gas is further treated with nitrogen for the production of ammonia by already established processes like Haber-Bosch. This process stands to provide a zero-emission output, usually fulfilling the global sustainability aspiration. Active wind-to-ammonia projects with scalable potential are taking place presently in wind-rich areas like the United Kingdom, Denmark, and parts of the U.S. These developments in the efficiency and cost reduction of wind energy technologies are making the whole wind-to-methanol pathway economically viable. The production of wind-sourced green ammonia is expected to undergo rapid expansion as improvements in storage and grid integration come online.

• Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production: Solar photovoltaic electrolysis for hydrogen production means generating electricity through sunlight using solar PV systems that feed into electrolyzers, transferring the green hydrogen. Hydrogen is then treated to produce ammonia; thus, the whole system is environmentally friendly and carbon neutral. Australia, India, and Saudi Arabia—all richly endowed in solar energy—have bright prospects in this area. Continuous development in PV cell efficiencies and battery-storing technologies is lowering total operational costs. Co-location of solar farms and ammonia production plants has the extra capability of integrating operations and further reducing investments in infrastructure. More and more becoming feasible, the execution of this scheme stands to benefit from several large-scale government-backed solar energy projects and mechanisms fueled by climate funding.

BY APPLICATION

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Fertilizer and Fuel

Green ammonia offers an eco-friendly alternative that has a drastically reduced carbon footprint in tandem with food security and climate change issues. Top agribusinesses and fertilizer producers are continuing to invest in green ammonia in the future to safeguard their operations and realize their emissions targets. The transition is enhanced by government incentives as well as farm subsidies that encourage low-emissions practices. The added force for demand from this sector, however, is anticipated to remain robust as sustainability in food production systems climbs higher in priority.

• Fuel: Green ammonia is becoming popular because it is considered almost a carbon-free fuel for generating electric energy, particularly in decarbonizing those hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping and heavy industry. High energy density and stability, together with easy transport, make this fuel excellent for use in internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and fuel cells. Most of the development and ongoing trials for this use are being taken up for maritime applications, especially in Japan, South Korea, and various parts of Europe. Furthermore, green ammonia is considered to undergo several other pilots as a medium for grid-scale renewable energy storage, given its chemically stable nature. In particular, rapid growth is expected in this area of application over the coming decade, with decarbonization mandates tightening.
