Climate change is now the biggest challenge that humanity has ever faced. With the global population growing and the use of fossil resources continuing to drive global warming, the problem needs to be solved. We need to provide both food and energy to the world's growing population, and do so sustainably. At thyssenkrupp we are driven by sustainability. To stop climate change we have developed technologies that make sustainability feasible for businesses, reduce the carbon footprint of industrial value chains, and accelerate the growth of renewable energy. This is exactly what motivated us to develop our green ammonia technology ‑ perfect not only for building new green ammonia plants but also for greening up existing plants by means of a revamp.
Green ammonia applications - an astounding potential!
Ammonia is ideal for shipping green hydrogen and green energy across the globe. Why?
Ammonia is equally essential in tackling the challenge of producing enough food to feed a growing global population as it can be used to produce low-carbon fertilizers. At the moment, 80 % of the annual global ammonia production of over 170 million metric tons is used for fertilizer production. However, its use as an electrical storage medium looks set to dwarf this figure.
