With the shipping industry exploring alternative fuels and the case of ammonia as a green and sustainable fuel, Norway’s chemical and fertilizer company Yara announced plans for full-scale green ammonia project.

Global energy and commodity pricing service Argus Media along with the classification society DNV GL, joined forcers and launched industry's first online platform for green ammonia.

In an effort to make Europe’s biggest economy climate-neutral by 2050, Germany turned its focus on using ammonia and methanol in order to deliver hydrogen as a clean-burning fuel for industries.

The use of ammonia as a fuel is expected to grow due to its zero-carbon content, easier distribution, storage and bunkering compared to hydrogen, and its suitability with existing and emerging technologies for propulsion and power generation, a new whitepaper by ABS suggests. 

Innovation Fund Denmark, the Danish investment entity, has announced the creation of a consortium to develop a two-stroke, ammonia-fuelled engine for maritime shipping.

LR has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) to South Korean shipbuilder DSME and manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions for an ammonia-fueled 23,000 TEU ultra-large container ship design, marking a milestone for the development of ammonia propulsion ships.

North Sea Port collaborated with Ørsted and Yara Birkeland to develop green ammonia based on renewable hydrogen, with the aim lead to an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of 100,000 tons.

Danish offshore wind company Ørsted and Japanese fertilizer Yara have joined forces to develop a project aiming at replacing fossil hydrogen with renewable hydrogen in the production of ammonia.

New and flexible fuel cell technology can reduce emissions from shipping by 40 to 100%. Partners from shipping, R&D and oil and gas are now constructing a pilot system that can use different types of fuel.

In its recently launched Energy Outlook, BP forecasts that the fuel mix for decarbonization in the shipping sector up to 2050 is able to diversify into hydrogen, either as ‎ammonia or in liquid form, and LNG, as well as biofuels.
