Resource Description

This Chemical Transition Strategy is part of a series of industry transition strategies developed by the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) to guide decarbonisation of seven hardest-to-abate sectors: aluminium, chemicals, concrete, steel, aviation, shipping, and trucking.

Why This Matters

Ammonia is essential for fertilizer and emerging as a zero-carbon shipping fuel. Rapid decarbonization is vital for climate goals and industrial transformation.

Key Insights

Replacing fossil-based hydrogen with low-emissions hydrogen is key, as 90% of ammonia emissions come from hydrogen production
By 2030, at least 50 large-scale low-carbon ammonia plants are needed to reach a 4% market share
Calls for targeted public finance to de-risk early projects, long-term offtake agreements, and enabling policies to support investment
Emphasizes international cooperation to develop standards, infrastructure, and trade in green ammonia
Capacity building is critical in emerging markets to scale production and build demand
