overview

As we move towards zero-carbon, deep electrification combined with new applications for hydrogen promise to transform the way we live, work, and do business. Ammonia sometimes referred to as the ‘other hydrogen’ can be at the very forefront of this transformation. Making it in a sustainable, green manner can help revolutionise the way we think about energy, heating, transport and energy storage; creating new infrastructure and matching supply chains where huge opportunities await.

The race is on for early entrants to the global ammonia market – don’t be left behind.

Key Learning Outcomes

• The importance of renewable ammonia
• Ammonia’s role as a net zero driver
• Will it be Green or blue hydrogen – or both?
• The Current and future ammonia supply chain
• Zero-carbon bunker fuel opportunities
• Ammonia’s potential Long-term storage of renewable energy
• Plants and schemes under development/in the planning process
• How to do business with Ammonia interests?
• The Operations and maintenance, employment opportunities around Ammonia
• Engaging with the ammonia, hydrogen and renewable industries
• The importance of EU directive (including the Green Deal, 2×40 GW)
• National nuances and their relevance for attendees
• The importance of stakeholder NGO’s and local community engagement
• Investor requirements and expectations

About the Course

Ammonia is an integral and crucial part of the emerging hydrogen economy, an industry that is expected to grow exponentially across the globe in the coming years. For example, the UK recently set a target to produce five gigawatts of hydrogen by 2030, representing a 40-fold increase from the current situation. This ambition is replicated worldwide where national hydrogen strategies, often explicitly citing the need for ammonia, are appearing on a weekly basis. The journey to a new, low emission energy system with a much greater role for hydrogen will be challenging and require much innovation. Early engagement with those developing low or zero-emissions ammonia projects will enable fast movers to reap the maximum from the opportunity presented.

The course aims to provide a practical guide to enable companies to make informed decisions and plans based on the real opportunities that are emerging as the global hydrogen and ammonia economy develops. Delegates will be guided as to where early opportunities are most likely to lie, who is involved and how to get in front of them.

Who Will Benefit

• Existing energy companies particularly those who are already part of the oil and gas supply chain and those looking to future-proof their capabilities
• The agricultural sector which is already familiar with ammonia as a fertiliser and well-placed to drive the industry forward
• Particularly relevant to engineering companies, those involved in storage compression equipment and shipping
• Those companies seeking to enter the ammonia and energy arena with its myriad opportunities in a market valued, in one scenario, by the Bank of America at 11 trillion dollars
