SYMPOSIUM | Ammonia in the Low-Carbon Energy System of the Future
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 | BY INVITATION ONLY
READ the executive summary here
Global ammonia production today is approximately 180 million metric tons per year, with 70% used for agricultural fertilizers and the remainder used for various industrial applications. Most ammonia is produced from fossil fuels and results in 2.4 tons of CO2 per ton of ammonia produced, contributing 2% of the global CO2 emission. Ammonia markets are expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% between now and 2030, driven partly by growth in the current agriculture and chemical applications, but also the emergence of new markets utilizing ammonia as a low-carbon fuel for transportation and power generation.The continued deployment of renewables and low carbon strategies present a unique opportunity to reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuel production methods by utilizing technologies that minimize emissions and produce ammonia from clean energy and water.
This invitation-only symposium, hosted by the Stanford Hydrogen Initiative, brought together thought leaders from academia, industry, government agencies, and NGOs to discuss the critical issues related to scaling and decarbonizing current ammonia production; and expanding the low-carbon ammonia market for agriculture and as a zero-carbon fuel in hard to abate sectors.
