Ammonia is one of the world’s most widely used chemicals, found in everything from fertilizers to explosives. But this tiny, crucial molecule has a heavy carbon footprint, with ammonia production and end use applications accounting for 2-3% of emissions worldwide. Now, green ammonia could be within reach, as hydrogen, its key component, moves toward an emissions-free production process of its own. To find out more, Dana speaks with Adithya Bhashyam, an Associate from BNEF’s Hydrogen team. Together they explore the relationship between ammonia and hydrogen, ammonia’s potential as a clean shipping fuel, and the prospect of using ammonia as a more efficient means of transporting green hydrogen itself.

Complimentary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal, on bnef.com or on the BNEF mobile app.

Join us as, Stamicarbon CEO, Pejman Djavdan shares his expertise and visionary insights on how fertilizer technologies can become more efficient and effective to combat the pressing environmental issues our planet faces today. With decades of experience at Stamicarbon, a global market leader in fertilizer technology licensing, Mr. Djavdan provides a unique perspective on the intersection of fertilizer technology, sustainability, and innovation.

Renewable natural gas (RNG), made from the decomposition of organic waste like livestock manure, is not necessarily net-zero if it's burned to run a turbine or drive a car. But what if the RNG is not burned, but is rather pyrolyzed, breaking it down into hydrogen and another product called "carbon black," an essential component of car tires, among other things? Then the hydrogen can be used and the carbon black can be sold in solid form instead of releasing the carbon into the atmosphere. From its Nebraska-based plant, Monolith converts renewable methane into both green hydrogen and carbon black using the world's largest plasma torch (more about that in the episode). Now they are developing a commercial clean hydrogen operation, which they will use to create ammonia to sell for fertilizer. 

Join us for our conversation with Monolith co-founder and CEO Rob Hanson to learn about methane pyrolysis, the markets for carbon-negative industrial products, and how the Inflation Reduction Act is supporting green (or clean) hydrogen production processes (like Monolith's) in the United States.

This week Frank Davis, Assistant VP, Green Hydrogen and Canada Country Head at Pattern Energy joins as our guest.  Pattern Energy is developing a green hydrogen project at the Port of Argentia in Newfoundland and Labrador. The project will use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen and convert it into ammonia.  

Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Frank: Tell us about the different parts of the project (electricity production to hydrogen and ammonia). Why did you select the province of Newfoundland and Labrador? How do you manage the variability of renewable power while running the ammonia plant 24/7? How much does the cost of green ammonia compare with hydrogen produced from fossil fuels? Would you look for 10 or 20 year take-or-pay contracts before proceeding with the project or is it a merchant model? How does Canadian policy for green hydrogen compare with the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)?

Maritime transport is the last to start its decarbonization transition. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and some key industry players are paving the way to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But which fuels could be used to do so, when both the road and aviation segments are also on the same journey?

In this episode, Sylvain will be talking to Anders Erlandson from the Technical University of Denmark and Nikolaj Knudsen from Topsoe about the future role of ammonia and methanol as marine fuels.

There is a lot to talk about, so make sure you’ve got your notebook ready.

Amogy's website

The roundtrip efficiency of such an ammonia system is between 15-25% based on the following sources:

• An ammonia energy group.
• A study under the American Chemical Society.

On Density: ammonia holds approximately 5 times the amount of hydrogen per unit volume compared to gaseous hydrogen used in a traditional fuel cell vehicle.

Paper from the Department of Energy (2006) about ammonia as a hydrogen carrier.

There are approximately 5,000km of ammonia pipeline in the U.S.

In aflevering 1 hebben we geleerd dat zo'n 8% van de benodigde waterstof in het Rotterdamse havengebied geproduceerd kan worden op het conversiepark. Maar hoe komen we dan aan de andere benodigde 92%? Dat zal worden geïmporteerd en opgeslagen. Celwin spreekt hierover met Marcel van de Kar (Vopak) en Tamme Mekkes (Koole Terminals) om uit te vinden op welke manier de bedrijven waterstof gaan opslaan, en wat er nodig nodig is om dit mogelijk te maken.

INTERVIEW THP06: Trevor Best / Syzygy Plasmonics - Using Light For A Photocatalytic Chemical Reaction To Create Hydrogen And Revolutionize The Industrial Gas, Chemical, And Energy Industries.

Special Interview Series - THP06: Trevor Best / Syzygy Plasmonics - In today’s interview I want to highlight a company called Syzygy Plasmonics Inc. (siz-uh-jee). I was speaking on a hydrogen panel with their CEO Trevor Best and we started talking about their ability to use a process called photocatalysis to create hydrogen and I knew I had to get him on the podcast. 

To give you a brief overview… Syzygy (siz-uh-jee) develops chemical reactors that are both environmentally friendly and capable of disrupting the market. Invented at Rice University, their ‘Antenna-Reactor’ nanoparticle system turns traditional catalysts into high efficiency photocatalysts. It is capable of utilizing light to perform high volume chemical reactions at lower costs than are possible today. Syzygy will enter the market with a low-cost, low-emission Hydrogen production system. After a beachhead is established with Hydrogen, Syzygy will develop low-cost, low-emission production systems for other high value chemical reactions that create commodity chemicals such as Ethylene, Ammonia, and Methanol.

The technology is amazing. The leadership team is amazing. This company is on my short list of one’s to watch for the future.

In the race for decarbonization, the shipping industry faces major challenges. Fuel is cheap, almost half the price of gasoline. And, most ships last between 20-25 years, meaning that the turnover to cleaner shipping could take far longer than road transportation, where the average car is only 12 years old. 

But there is some wind in the sails of maritime decarbonization initiatives.

Maria Gallucci, a climate journalist with Canary Media, has spent the last 5 years investigating the challenges and opportunities of decreasing maritime emissions. She spoke with Climate Now about why it is so hard to decarbonize this sector, and the diversity of approaches that are being explored, with a focus on ammonia and wind-powered propulsion.

Fertilizers sit at the very heart of the commodities world. Their components are both mined and derived from hydrocarbons while their use underpins the agri sector. A truly global commodity but dominated by a handful of producers and traders. After a decade of low prices, last year saw prices quadrupled driven by energy price rises, shipping disruption and demand increase. What is the market structure? What does this all mean for market participants? Will fertilizers finally get a vibrant derivatives market? How will governments react to a prolonged price increase? What technologies might disrupt this sector? Our guest is Andres Santacruz, Head of Business Development for Fertilizers, Latin America and 10 year veteran in fertilizer trading.

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs. Today's guest is Ammonia and Alternative energy expert Greg Vezina.

This episode is a unique one for us in that it is a match that was totally inspired by the Eggs community. In recent months we have featured other alternative Energy Experts on the podcast including Andrew Murphey and Dr. Amit Roy to name a couple. Due to an outsized and unexpected reaction to those particular episodes by our community we've received a number of emails with more questions about the future of energy.

One such email came from listener Karim who sent this message, in part: "Dear Eggs, My name is Karim and I have a question: What do you think of ammonia cars? Because there's a Youtube video about a 1981 Chevrolet Impala that had its V8 engine converted to run on ammonia, which is a mix of hydrogen with a little nitrogen, which makes the exhaust pipe cleaner and it's far cheaper than gasoline?"

The video he's referring to, as he continued in his note, was created in 2006 by CBC News in Canada and was later run internationally on CNN, featuring today's guest showcasing his then cutting edge technology. Indulge us for a second while we run the tape...

As you can see, even then, today's guest lived on the vanguard of Ammonia technology and the future of energy and is still a prominent leader in the space.

Thank you Karim for your note, and thanks to the community for making this connection happen. Joining us today for a lively discussion about Ammonia, hydrogen, and our world's energy future, please join us in welcoming to the show, Greg Vezina.

Ammonia sits at the heart of the chemical industry and was the vital component in our first ‘green’ revolution, boosting global food production. Now, Ammonia could sit at the heart of the next ‘green’ revolution as a transporter for hydrogen atoms for fuel cells and as a carbon-free fuel in its own right. This is launching a surge in interest from the energy industry,  just at a time when food and fertilizer prices are also rising. Is Ammonia a real contender in energy transition? What does this mean for the current and future of the Ammonia market?  And who better to ask than a trader. Our guest is Christophe Savi, Managing Director of Ammonia at Trammo, the global commodity merchandiser engaged in the marketing, trading, distribution, and transportation of ammonia, among other commodities, for over 60 years.
