概述
2023年全球綠色氨市場規模為2億美元,預計2031年將達59億美元,預測期間(2024-2031年)複合年成長率為52.95%。
氨是一種有毒氣體,常用於農業肥料生產。綠色氨生產是指100%可再生、無碳的氨生產。利用電解水產生的氫氣和從空氣中提取的氮氣是綠色生產氨的方法之一。然後將其放入完全由再生能源驅動的哈伯流程中。該過程透過在高溫高壓下結合氫氣和氮氣來生產氨(NH3)。
另一方面,氨生產目前並不是一個“綠色”工藝。它通常由甲烷、水和空氣製成,並透過蒸汽甲烷重整 (SMR) 和哈伯製程生產氫氣。 SMR 方法產生了約 90% 的二氧化碳。此過程消耗大量能源,排放的二氧化碳約佔全球總量的 1.8%。
由於全球範圍內擴大採用再生能源生產系統,以氫形式儲存的可再生能源的需求急劇增加。因此,一些綠色氨計劃已經啟動,因為它是最好的氫離子載體。然而,合成氨設施昂貴的資本支出可能會成為市場擴張的絆腳石。
再生能源的長期需求
從裝機增量來看,再生能源發電量超過了化石燃料發電量。到 2020 年,全球再生能源裝置容量已達到 2.79 太瓦 (TW),比上年成長 10.3%。根據國際再生能源機構的數據,太陽能和風能是極具潛力的可再生能源,預計在未來幾年將主導再生能源領域。
太陽能和風能的成長速度快於其他再生能源,投資不斷增加,發電成本較低。因此,不斷成長的再生能源發電量和相應的儲存需求將推動綠色氨產業向前發展。
作為海洋燃料的綠色氨
由於船舶消耗大量柴油和高硫燃料,航運業目前佔全球溫室氣體排放量的 3%。重燃油是船舶最常見的船用油,是從原油蒸餾中獲得的剩餘油。當含硫量高的油在船舶引擎中燃燒時,有毒的硫氧化物會釋放到天空中。
另一方面,海洋產業正經歷轉型。海運業面臨著透過改用清潔能源來減少排放的壓力。根據國際海事組織 (IMO) 2020 年標準(品質比),在指定排放控制區域外作業的船舶所用運輸油的硫含量限制已降至 0.5% m/m。它將轉向更高品質的船用燃料,開闢綠色氨產業的前景。
高資金投入
綠色合成氨工廠的高資本密集度目前是市場擴張的最大障礙。綠色合成氨裝置的成本是天然氣合成氨裝置的1.5倍。天然氣或煤炭是合成氨生產的主要營運成本,約佔工廠營運成本的 75%。除非再生能源和電解槽的成本進一步下降,否則一般氨生產商將無法從傳統氨生產轉向綠色氨生產,從而阻礙市場擴張。
2020 年3 月下旬,隨著COVID-19 開始關閉非必要企業和邊界,許多包裝公司開展了行業調查,以就COVID-19 對化學品製造商、材料供應商和機械製造商的影響提供有意義的措施。
被視為關鍵的產業的產能利用率高達 95%。隨著企業採取永續發展措施,隨著 COVID-19 危機的影響逐漸消失,交通、發電和工業原料對綠色氨的需求可能會大幅增加。
Overview
The global green ammonia market size was worth US$ 0.2 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 5.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 52.95% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Ammonia is a poisonous gas that is commonly employed in agricultural fertilizer production. Green ammonia production refers to ammonia production that is 100% renewable and carbon-free. Using hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen extracted from the air is one method of green ammonia production. It is then put into the Haber process, wholly powered by renewable energy. The process produces ammonia, NH3, by combining hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures and pressures.
On the other hand, ammonia production is currently not a "green" process. It's usually manufactured from methane, water and air, with the hydrogen produced using steam methane reforming (SMR) and the Haber process. The SMR method produces around 90% of the carbon dioxide produced. This process uses a lot of energy and emits about 1.8 percent of the world's carbon dioxide.
The need for renewable energy storage in the form of hydrogen has risen dramatically due to the growing adoption of renewable energy-producing systems worldwide. As a result, several green ammonia initiatives have been started because it is the best hydrogen ion vector. However, the expensive capital expenditure on ammonia facilities may operate as a stumbling block to market expansion.
Long-term demand for renewable energy
In terms of capacity addition, renewable energy generation exceeds fossil fuel power generation. Global renewable capacity had reached 2.79 terawatts (TW) by 2020, up 10.3 percent from the previous year. As per the International Renewable Energy Agency, solar and wind are high-potential renewable energy sources and are expected to dominate the renewable energy sector in the future years.
Solar and wind energy have grown faster than other renewable energy sources, rising investment and lower power generation costs. As a result, rising renewable energy generation and corresponding storage requirements will propel the green ammonia industry forward.
Green ammonia as a maritime fuel
The shipping industry is currently responsible for 3% of the global greenhouse gas emissions, owing to the high consumption of diesel and high sulfur fuel for ships. Heavy fuel oil is ships' most common bunker oil, obtained as a leftover from crude oil distillation. When oil with high sulfur content is burned in a ship engine, toxic SOx is released into the sky.
The marine industry, on the other hand, is undergoing a transition. The maritime industry is under pressure to reduce emissions by switching to cleaner energy sources. The sulfur limit in transportation oil used on board ships operating outside designated emission control areas has been cut to 0.5 percent m/m under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 standards (mass by mass). It will shift toward higher-quality marine fuels, opening up prospects in the green ammonia industry.
High capital investment
The high capital-intensive nature of green ammonia plants is now the most significant impediment to the market's expansion. The cost of green ammonia plants is 1.5 times that of natural gas-based ammonia plants. For about 75% of the plant's operating costs, natural gas or coal is the major operating cost in ammonia manufacturing. General ammonia manufacturers will not be able to move from traditional ammonia production to green ammonia production unless the cost of renewable energy and electrolyzers falls further, hampering market expansion.
In late March 2020, as COVID-19 began closing non-essential enterprises and borders, numerous packaging companies created industry surveys to provide meaningful measures regarding the impact of COVID-19 on chemical makers, material suppliers and machinery manufacturers.
Industries deemed critical were operating at capacity levels of up to 95%. As companies adopt sustainability measures, the demand for green ammonia in transportation, power generation and industrial feedstock will likely rise at a significantly high rate as the impacts of COVID-19 crisis fade away.
The green ammonia market is segmented by end-users as transportation, power generation and industrial feedstock.
Rising use of ammonia in power generation
The rising need for energy in many end-use sectors is largely responsible for this segment's rise. Renewable energy can be stored and reused for power generation at consumption sites with green ammonia production. It will improve the efficiency and long-term viability of renewable energy generation. Combined with natural gas or hydrogen, ammonia can also be burned directly in gas turbines. If ammonia is imported as a hydrogen carrier, burning it directly could prevent the need for ammonia cracking (which is required to convert it back to hydrogen), eliminating an energy-intensive step in the process.
Ammonia also takes up less space in the storage tank than hydrogen. Ammonia is also less reactive than hydrogen, burning at a lower temperature with a slower flame and a limited flammability range. While ammonia fire presents a flame stability difficulty, it is less than hydrogen, with NOx abatement remaining the primary concern. However, as previously stated, NOx abatement using well-proven selective catalytic reduction systems is already being employed successfully in several nations' stationary NOx emitters, such as power plants.
Several businesses are working on engines and turbines that use ammonia as fuel. Mitsubishi, for example, is working on a gas turbine that can run on ammonia as a fuel. Thermal cracking of ammonia produces hydrogen, nitrogen and trace amounts of ammonia, utilized as a fuel in gas turbines.
Geographical Share
The presence of green hydrogen projects in Europe
In the global market, Europe is expected to have a large share. The existence of green hydrogen projects around the region is primarily driving the region's growth. The green ammonia market in the region is expected to increase due to a rising number of fuel cell projects and government initiatives to deploy fuel cells in the residential and commercial sectors.
Furthermore, the rapid adoption of electric vehicles in this region is likely to raise the market for fuel cells, which would boost the market for green ammonia. A crucial aspect driving the region's green ammonia market is the increased preference for sustainable energy sources for power generation and transportation fuel.
Furthermore, significant market participants across the region and their contributions to creating new production plants are a major contributor to the region's high market share. For example, Haldor Topsoe declared in March 2021 that it would produce green ammonia for naval fuel in Germany. Aquamarine Investment Partners, a private capital manager, is leading the project. They signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Haldor Topsoe, a Danish company working on multiple initiatives to produce green hydrogen, ammonia, eMethanol and green fuels.
Fertilizer prices had already reached historic highs at the time of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. They have been increasing since late 2020 due to a variety of circumstances. Fertilizer demand, which fell during the COVID 19 lockdowns, regained in late 2020/2021 as restrictions were released and crop prices increased. On the supply side, rising natural gas and coal costs-key feedstocks and energy sources in fertilizer manufacturing-along with some decreases in production capacity, pushed prices higher.
The outbreak of war on February 24, 2022, caused prices to skyrocket. The conflict itself, additional or expanded economic sanctions on Russia and Belarus, and disruptions in Black Sea trade routes all contributed to increased uncertainty over fertilizer exports from the two countries. Russia and Belarus are significant producers of all three key fertilizer nutrients. In 2020, Russia accounted for 14% of global urea commerce and 11% of global phosphate trade, with Russia and Belarus accounting for 41% of global potash trade combined. The fact that a limited number of nations manufacture a substantial proportion of internationally sold fertilizers renders the industry vulnerable to trade shocks.
Countries that rely significantly on fertilizer imports from Russia and Belarus feared an immediate shortage, and many scrambled to find other sources in a very tight global market. However, with around three-quarters of all countries importing at least half of their fertilizer usage, trade shocks caused by the conflict echoed over the world.
