Blue Ammonia Market
Blue Ammonia Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report Market by Technology (Steam Methane Reforming, Autothermal Reforming, and Gas Partial Oxidation), by Application (Heavy Road Transport, Power Industrial Heating, and Industrial Feedstock), and by End-User Industry (Agriculture, Textiles, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Refrigeration, and Other End-User Industries) Forecast Period (2023-2030)
Blue ammonia market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Blue ammonia is a type of ammonia that is produced using natural gas as a feedstock with the carbon dioxide by-product from hydrogen production captured and stored. This makes blue ammonia a lower-carbon alternative to traditional ammonia production, which releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Growing focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing efforts toward empowering the hydrogen economy will drive the demand for the Blue Ammonia Market. The primary driving force behind this growth is the potential of blue ammonia to serve as a fuel for both transportation and power generation. In June 2023, Yara International ASA and BASF collaborated to develop and build a world-scale low-carbon blue ammonia production facility with carbon capture in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. To meet the expanding worldwide demand for low-carbon ammonia, the companies are investigating the possibility of a facility with a total capacity of 1.2 to 1.4 million tons annually.
Segmental Outlook
The global blue ammonia market is segmented by technology, application, and end-user industry. By technology, the market is segmented into steam methane reforming, autothermal reforming, and gas partial oxidation. By application, the market is sub-segmented into heavy road transport, power industrial heating, and industrial feedstock. By the end-user industry, the market is further segmented into agriculture, textiles, mining, pharmaceutical, refrigeration, and other end-user industries. Among these, the industrial feedstock segment is expected to hold the significant share during the forecast period, in the industrial feedstock segment the fertilizer industry is expected to remain the largest consumer of blue ammonia. Ammonia is used to produce fertilizers, which are essential for crop production.
Steam Methane Reforming Sub-Segment is Expected to Dominate the Market
Among the technology, steam methane reforming is expected to hold a prominent share of the global blue ammonia market. This is primary owing to its cost-effectiveness and energy-efficient method of manufacturing pure hydrogen, steam methane reforming leads the blue ammonia market, with the largest market share and the highest growth rate. Because of the established infrastructure and lower investment costs than other technologies, such as solid oxide electrolysis and alkaline electrolysis, drive this trend. Steam methane reforming (SMR) accounts for around 60% of the total ammonia production globally.
Regional outlooks
The global blue ammonia market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to register fastest revenue growth rate in the global blue ammonia market over the forecast period. Because compared to other countries, Japan has made continuous breakthroughs in ammonia procuring technology through extensive long-term development, resulting in numerous advantages. For instance, in May 2021, to create an end-to-end blue ammonia supply chain that connects Western Canada ammonia to Japan and other Asian markets, North American midstream corporation Pembina signed a deal with one of the biggest trading firms in Japan.
Global Blue Ammonia Market Growth by Region 2023-2030
North America is Expected to be the Largest Region in the Blue Ammonia Market
Blue ammonia is viewed as a viable solution to the climate emergency due to its cleaner production process. It is versatile and finds applications in fuel cells, maritime operations, and fertilizer production. With the increasing demand for blue ammonia, there is a high probability of establishing more projects in North America. For instance, in June 2023, BASF and Yara Clean Ammonia are collaborating on a joint study to develop and construct a world-scale low-carbon blue ammonia production facility with carbon capture in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Policies are also enforced to propel R&D and encourage the use of clean fuels for energy. Utilities are going through a significant operational shift, including decentralization, digitalization, and decarbonization. On a large scale, renewable energy is used for power generation.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global blue ammonia market include Air Liquide S.A., Saudi Arabian Oil Co., Yara International ASA, TechnipFMC plc, and CF Industries Holdings, Inc. among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2023, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and CF Industries Holdings, Inc., the largest ammonia producer, announced their collaborative plan to develop a greenfield ammonia production facility in the United States. The newly established facility will produce blue ammonia using carbon capture and sequestration techniques, reducing carbon emissions by over 60% rather than using traditional ammonia production methods.
