What are the Key Enablers for Ammonia Bunkering?

December 5, 2024

The shipping industry faces an ambitious challenge: reducing emissions by 20% by 2030 (compared to 2008 levels) and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, in alignment with IMO targets. Achieving these goals in the medium to long term depends on the adoption of alternative low-emission fuels like green ammonia and methanol.

Among these, ammonia is attracting growing interest as a viable option. Unlike methanol, it is not constrained by biogenic CO2 availability, and its production process is relatively simple. However, kickstarting ammonia bunkering on a large scale requires several factors to align:

  • Green ammonia supply
  • Application technology
  • Bunkering infrastructure
  • Safety guidelines and standards

At Yamna, we play a key role as an upstream player, producing green ammonia at the most cost-competitive locations. By collaborating closely with partners across the ammonia bunkering ecosystem, we are driving the transition to a sustainable maritime future.
