Prospects for the shipping industry
Key takeaways
Two low-emissions pathways exist for producing ammonia today
- Low emission ammonia is produced from hydrogen that is generated by either of two processes:
- Blue hydrogen: Conventional methane reforming, combined with CO2 capture and storage
- Electro-ammonia: Electrolysis of water, powered by renewable sources
- Grey ammonia has been excluded from the following analysis, because its price and emissions are higher than those of LSFO.
