Industrial ammonia is a key part of modern life. As a basis of nitrogen fertilisers, as fibres for our clothes, as the cleaning products we use and to refrigerate our food and cool our homes, ammonia’s impact goes beyond just food production. As we race to decarbonise, the energy-intensive means of ammonia production need to be addressed. Low-carbon ammonia has a place in the energy transition, but without guaranteed demand the industry will be reluctant to commit. Policymakers have the power to build the low-carbon ammonia market, a necessary step to ensure existing producers evolve, or else face the consequences as the world reaches out for net zero.

On the podcast this month, Liz is joined by Wood Mackenzie's Mariana Moreria, Principal Research Analyst, who explains the types of ammonia, where it's used and how it's currently produced. Also joining is Magnus Ankarstrand, President of Clean Ammonia at Yara, who explores ammonia as an energy source, its implications for decarbonising the shipping industry, and the policies and industry practices that will use ammonia to further the energy transition.
