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 (low-carbon or green ammonia), ammonia is considered a gamechanger in decarbonizing the maritime industry and other energy-intensive industries where direct electrification is not an option. This will create a need for larger-than-ever built capacities.
Being easy to store and transport, ammonia can be distributed worldwide by means of trucks, trains, ships, and pipelines. Ammonia is often discussed as the energy carrier and storage medium of the future and is considered an important transportation method for hydrogen.
Choose between our ammonia production pathways
Partner up with the most trusted supplier of ammonia solutions. With nearly a century of leadership in ammonia production, Topsoe has the knowledge, experience, and solutions it takes for you to succeed with your ammonia production.
Green ammonia
Green ammonia (or eAmmonia) is produced by synthesizing green hydrogen (hydrogen produced through electrolysis and from a renewable electricity source) and nitrogen.
Low-carbon ammonia
Low-carbon ammonia (also known as 'blue ammonia') is a responsible way of producing ammonia. It uses natural gas as its feedstock and integrates carbon capture and storage to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Conventional Ammonia
Producing conventional ammonia (also known as 'grey ammonia') at the lowest cost per ton is a challenge many face every day. Our industry-leading solutions ensure reliable and safe operation with the lowest possible energy consumption and the lowest possible emissions.
