As pressure grows for the shipping industry to decarbonize, ammonia is emerging as a viable fuel alternative.
Ammonia is a powerhouse of versatility, already integral to agriculture, refrigeration, and household cleaning products. As one of the most widely produced chemicals, it’s now gaining attention as a highly viable, energy-dense fuel source, with the potential to transform heavy industries globally—including the shipping sector.
Maritime shipping emits close to abillion tons of greenhouse gasses each year, on par with G7 nations like Germany and Japan. Amid growing regulatory pressure to adopt alternative fuel sources, driven by the increasing consequences of climate change, land and air transportation sectors are steadily shifting toward green energy solutions, which means the shipping industry’s share of global carbon emissions is expected to rise. Shipping currently accounts for 3.1% of these emissions; if nothing is done, that couldgrow to 17% by 2050.
