Green ammonia is seen as one of the key vectors of the future energy and feedstock transition and an essential element in achieving global climate goals. It is gaining attention across different sectors including the chemical industry, fertiliser production, maritime transport and the energy sector. But what does green ammonia production look like today, and how might it evolve in the future? How close are we to a broad deployment of modular green ammonia systems and on-demand production? And will the Haber-Bosch process continue to dominate the future production of ammonia or will other alternative processes be competitive enough to produce it at megatonne levels?
Join our webinar on 13 November to explore these and other questions with international experts in both large-scale green ammonia projects and the development of decentralised on-farm facilities!

Hive Hydrogen SA is establishing five large scale hydrogen and ammonia plants in South Africa, powered by 15 GW of renewable energy. In December 2021, Hive Hydrogen SA announced plans to create one of the world’s largest green ammonia plants in Coega, Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa.
AustriaEnergy, active in Chile since the beginning of 2013, has developed sites and integrated technology for more than 700 MW photovoltaic in seven projects. The HNH Green Energy project in the region of Magallanes will produce ~850 000 t/year green hydrogen or ~150.000 t/year green ammonia for export.
Talus Renewables, an energy technology company, has pioneered the first commercial, modular, zero-carbon green ammonia system that makes the production and distribution of a critical raw material cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable. Talus’s first deployment – talusOne, installed at Kenya Nut Company’s Morendat farm in Naivasha, Kenya – demonstrates the immense potential of decentralised green ammonia production in rural and supply-vulnerable communities.
With its impressively low energy requirements, Nium‘s nanotechnology delivers safe, scalable, decentralised, decarbonised clean ammonia on demand and a cleaner future for food and fuel. As part of a £1.2 million grant, Nium and HydGene Renewables will combine their proprietary and patent-pending catalytic technologies to develop a circular, decentralised, on-farm process for production of low-carbon renewable hydrogen from waste straw and conversion into green ammonia fertiliser, creating an innovative local solution to a global and regional challenge, aligned with the UK’s and Australia’s hydrogen and net-zero strategies.
Ammonia Europe is the voice of the European ammonia industry and its value chain with the mission to advance the decarbonisation of the industry and its pivotal role in the transition towards a climate-neutral economy.
The webinar is organised by DECHEMA e.V. as part of the PtX Hub consortium.
