Market Growth Factors

The rising global demand for low-carbon ammonia is driving large-scale production projects integrating carbon capture technology. For instance, BASF and Yara Clean Ammonia studied a large-scale production plant on the US Gulf Coast aiming for 1.2 to 1.4 Million Tons annually, capturing approximately 95% of CO₂ emissions. Such initiatives support energy transition efforts across power generation, shipping, and industry, leveraging advancements in carbon capture to strengthen ammonia's role as a cleaner alternative.

Global clean energy transitions are further supported by expanding low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia production projects featuring carbon capture integration. Mitsubishi Corporation and ExxonMobil's 2024 agreement to develop a facility in Baytown, Texas, plans production of 1 Billion Cubic Feet of hydrogen per day with 98% CO₂ removal and over 1 Million Tons of low-carbon ammonia annually. This underlines investments in the hydrogen economy expansion aligned with industrial and power sectors.

Strategic collaborations are vital growth drivers, boosting efficiency and supply chain infrastructure for clean ammonia production. ExxonMobil and Air Liquide’s 2024 partnership in Texas to supply oxygen and nitrogen via advanced air separation units and pipeline networks highlights innovation in production and transport logistics. Also, Johnson Matthey and thyssenkrupp Uhde's memorandum of understanding focuses on producing blue ammonia with up to 99% CO₂ capture, addressing rising demand in power, shipping, and manufacturing industries to meet global decarbonization goals.
