What is the relationship between green hydrogen and green ammonia?

In our recent conversation with Juan Pedro Agüero, we explored a topic that is gaining momentum on the global energy agenda: how green ammonia is emerging as a practical response to the challenges associated with the storage and transportation of green hydrogen.

Some of the key advantages we discussed include:

  • It enables hydrogen to be stored and transported far more efficiently.
  • It reduces energy losses linked to the logistics of pure hydrogen and simplifies its handling.
  • It offers a pathway to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of sectors that are traditionally hard to decarbonise, such as maritime transport.

In recent months, we have seen the launch of the first ammonia-powered vessels and the commissioning of large-scale plants dedicated to this technology.

Ammonia holds vast potential to overcome the logistical and energy challenges currently limiting the large-scale deployment of hydrogen. If the aim is to accelerate the transition to sustainable fuels, these developments could play a pivotal role.
