We have nearly a century of leadership in ammonia production.

Let’s navigate the different ammonia production pathways together.

What is ammonia? A fuel source and energy carrier

Ammonia is a versatile chemical compound that has primarily been used as a fertilizer in agriculture to feed the world’s growing population, as well as in the production of numerous other chemicals, such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and explosives.

Ammonia as a low-carbon energy carrier is receiving significant attention. Its high-energy density makes it an attractive fuel source, and when produced through a sustainable production method (blue or green ammonia), ammonia can be used for decarbonizing the maritime industry. In fact, it is considered a gamechanger in decarbonizing this industry and other energy-intensive industries where direct electrification is not an option. This will create a need for larger ammonia units than ever built.

In short, the uses of ammonia are many.

The benefits of ammonia

Ammonia is often discussed as the energy carrier and storage medium of the future and considered an important transportation method for hydrogen. Being easy to store and transport, ammonia can be distributed worldwide by means of trucks, trains, ships, and pipelines.

Choose between our ammonia production pathways

Green ammonia

Green ammonia (or eAmmonia) is produced by synthesizing green hydrogen (hydrogen produced through electrolysis and from a renewable electricity source) and nitrogen.

Blue ammonia

Blue ammonia (or 'low-carbon ammonia') uses natural gas as its feedstock and integrates carbon capture and storage to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Conventional ammonia

Producing conventional ammonia at lowest cost per ton is a challenge. Our leading solutions ensure reliable operation with lowest possible energy consumption and emissions.

White paper

New SynCOR ammonia process

This paper presents an ammonia plant solution based on autothermal reforming and a simplified process scheme as a cost-efficient alternative to today’s prevailing plant concepts based on conventional SMR reforming is a significant milestone. SynCOR Ammonia™ reduces the gap to the minimum theoretical energy consumption for ammonia production by 10% while increasing feasibility through economy of scale.
