Alliance formed to boost ammonia growth

UK: The UK Ammonia Alliance (UKAA) is a new coalition of pioneering businesses working to accelerate the growth of the UK’s low-carbon ammonia industry.

Essential for modern agriculture and industry, ammonia has long been used in fertilisers, refrigeration and manufacturing. The members of the Alliance see low-carbon ammonia offering a pathway to decarbonise these vital sectors while also being used in new applications including hydrogen transport and storage, power generation and sustainable fuels.

Founding Members of the UKAA are AFC Energy, Air Products, Blended Products, Clean Air Power, Exolum, Green Cat Hydrogen, HYCAP, Industrial Chemicals Limited, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, N-Gen Energy and Statkraft.

The Alliance will hold its first public event in parliament next month with MPs and peers, where it will launch a policy paper setting out key steps to unlocking the UK’s ammonia opportunity.
