Why ammonia

Energy-dense fuel for scalable, reliable power

Policymakers, non-governmental organizations, energy companies, infrastructure investors, and industrial companies increasingly view ammonia as an essential energy carrier. Backed by the right technology, ammonia can support scalable, dispatchable power where reliability, fuel flexibility, and energy security matter most.

A practical hydrogen carrier for scalable power

Ammonia gives power generation, data centers, maritime, and heavy industry a practical fuel pathway to meet rising energy demand, strengthen resilience, and support lower-carbon power.

Carbon-free energy that delivers on the promise of hydrogen

Chemically, ammonia (NH₃) is entirely carbon free, making it a more environmentally friendly hydrogen carrier than alternatives like methanol. When cracked, ammonia produces hydrogen and nitrogen.

Power density that delivers for heavy industries

Ammonia is highly energy dense, making it ideal for power generation, data centers, maritime and heavy industry. This allows ammonia to be used for applications less suitable for other clean energy solutions like batteries.

Over a century of existing global infrastructure

Ammonia is among the world's most traded chemicals, supported by over a century’s worth of global infrastructure. This dramatically reduces costs compared to the extensive private and public investment that would be required to build out new infrastructure to support a hydrogen economy.

Ammonia safety at scale

Robust regulation and mature safety procedures allow ammonia to be transported and stored every day across different industries including shipping and agriculture. The chemical is also far less flammable than hydrogen and, in the event of a leak, is much easier to detect thanks to its strong and distinctive odor.
