Blue Ammonia Market Size Expected to Reach USS 3621.3 Million by 2034| CAGR of 47.08%

According to the research report, the global blue ammonia market size was valued at USD 107.9 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3621.3 Million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 47.08%.

1.8% of the world's CO2 is also a low-carbon energy source with vast potential to replace fossil fuels and hydrocarbon feedstock - blue ammonia. Conductive solutions that easily absorb visible light are produced through technologies on carbon capture, usage, and storage during its production. This technology has high energy density, suitable infrastructure for storage and transmission, and reduced GHG emissions. Blue ammonia fuel uses natural gas as feedstock for the production of hydrogen, thus reducing total emissions. Environmental regulation, together with low-carbon fuels for power generation and transport, and cleaner fertilizer manufacture in the agricultural sector, is the driver for this industry.

Obstacles include rivalry from traditional routes, heavy expense, and investment in infrastructure for transportation. It has worked as a carbon carrier for hydrogen transport in the future, while there is governmental support for renewable energy sources and new developments in electrolysis technology to produce green ammonia. In this respect, with the current global decarbonization drive, the market is expected to grow further.

Characterized by high technology innovation, competitiveness, and speed of growth, the blue ammonia market is one in which a company must diversify services offered, concentrate on sustainability, and increase its global footprint.

Recent Advancements

• In July 2024, Sabic Agri-Nutrients Company has announced that it has received approval from Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry for the allocation of required quantities of feedstock for its planned blue ammonia production facility in the kingdom. Sabic Agri-Nutrients, in which Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) owns the majority 50.1% share, plans to build the low-carbon ammonia plant in Jubail Industrial City, located in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

Its popularity in the industry is growing because of its many uses and its versatility in the transportation, power production, and fertilizer industries. It is also used as a fuel for turbine engines due to cheaper storage costs and increased energy density. Blue ammonia and other low-carbon fuels have immense demand globally due to rising climate change concerns and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon capture technology states that, on a life cycle basis, blue ammonia could reduce more than 90% of the emissions compared to normal ammonia production, saying it can potentially become a source of long-term energy. That aside, expansion, and major market players like Yara International, Saudi Aramco, OCI, and CF Industries Holdings are driving growth.

High-temperature heating of natural gas with steam, forming hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the process called steam methane reformation, results in blue ammonia. Autothermal reforming is another recent technology that combines the two processes of partial oxidation and steam reforming into one reactor vessel. It can replace traditional fossil fuels in agriculture, transport, industry, and in energy production. Reducing CO2, however, requires infrastructure and CCS technology. Blue ammonia will help the power plants in reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it will also help in the additional decarbonization of sectors such as explosives, plastics, and pharmaceuticals with a sustainable co-product that can substitute for nitrogen production.

In an effort to curb the emissions of GH, North America is hedging on blue ammonia production and low-carbon alternatives. Companies under USGC are utilizing carbon capture technology to bring down the level of emissions, while the region is also developing the approach under CCUS implementation. The increasing natural gas prices, however, would increase the cost of production of blue ammonia in Europe. Notwithstanding these reversals in fortune, the continued global leadership that Europe offers in environmental law and sustainability remains significant for the world economy.
