Green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green steel markets are interconnected in the broader energy transition, supporting each other's growth in helping decarbonize heavy industry. Green hydrogen and ammonia are essential to scale up in order to transition away from fossil fuels. Green ammonia acts as a key bridge between green hydrogen production and major end uses like green steel manufacturing. Green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green steel all rely on renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydropower or biomass to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water. Green ammonia is produced by using green hydrogen and nitrogen from air to make ammonia and is an efficient means to store and transport green hydrogen. Green steel production utilizes green hydrogen instead of coking coal to reduce iron ore into steel. This eliminates most emissions from traditional steelmaking.
Green ammonia is a vital link that connects the supply of green hydrogen with major industrial applications like green steel production as well as providing an exportable source of renewable hydrogen. The Global Market for Green Hydrogen, Ammonia and Steel 2024-2034 provides an in-depth analysis of these key energy transition markets.
