블루 암모니아 시장 예측(-2030년) : 제조 공정, 유통 채널, 기술, 응용 분야, 최종 사용자 및 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Blue Ammonia Market is accounted for $13.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $23.4 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. Blue ammonia refers to a promising sustainable energy carrier, derived from the synthesis of ammonia using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power. Unlike traditional "gray" ammonia production, which emits significant greenhouse gases, blue ammonia production involves capturing and storing carbon emissions, making it environmentally friendly. Blue ammonia holds potential for various applications, including as a clean fuel for power generation, transportation, and industrial processes, contributing to global efforts to mitigate climate change while meeting energy demands sustainably.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for low-carbon intensive chemicals

As industries and consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability, there is a rising demand for low-carbon-intensive chemicals across various sectors such as agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing and is produced with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, aligns with this demand and offers a viable solution for reducing carbon emissions in chemical production processes. Industries seeking to reduce their carbon footprint may favour Blue Ammonia over traditional ammonia produced from fossil fuels, driving market expansion and growth for Blue Ammonia producers.

Restraint:

High production cost

High production costs can lead to reduced profit margins for Blue Ammonia producers, making it financially challenging to sustain operations and invest in further research and development and may deter potential investors from funding Blue Ammonia projects or expanding existing production facilities. Thus Blue Ammonia producers may become overly reliant on government subsidies or incentives to offset high production costs and remain competitive in the market. Dependency on subsidies introduces market instability and vulnerability to policy changes, potentially disrupting business operations and investment decisions.

Opportunity:

Growing use in transportation and power generation

Traditionally used in fertilizer production, Blue Ammonia finds new applications in transportation and power generation, diversifying its end-use markets. As industries seek cleaner alternatives to conventional fuels like diesel and coal, the use of Blue Ammonia offers a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions while meeting energy needs. This diversification reduces the reliance on specific industries and enhances the resilience of the Blue Ammonia market to fluctuations in demand or market conditions.

Threat:

Lack of regulatory frameworks

Industries operating in regions with lax regulations on carbon emissions may continue to favor traditional ammonia production methods over Blue Ammonia, which requires additional investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Thus without regulatory frameworks guiding the transition to low-carbon ammonia production, resources may be allocated inefficiently, leading to continued reliance on carbon-intensive production methods. This inefficiency can delay progress towards carbon neutrality goals and hinder efforts to mitigate climate change.

Covid-19 Impact

While initial disruptions in supply chains and decreased industrial activity affected demand, the focus on building resilient and sustainable economies post-pandemic has led to renewed interest in low-carbon alternatives. Governments' stimulus packages supporting green recovery initiatives and increasing investments in renewable energy and decarbonization efforts have bolstered the Blue Ammonia market. Additionally, the pandemic has accelerated the transition towards cleaner energy sources, driving the adoption of Blue Ammonia as a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in various sectors like transportation and power generation.

The thermochemical process segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The thermochemical process segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as thermochemical processes often generate carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct. However, in Blue Ammonia production, CCS technologies capture the CO2 emissions, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere. The effectiveness of CCS in capturing and storing CO2 emissions from thermochemical processes is crucial for reducing the carbon footprint of Blue Ammonia and making it a viable low-carbon alternative.

The power generation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The power generation segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, owing to the increasing adoption of renewable energy for power generation contributes to the growth of the Blue Ammonia market. As governments and industries worldwide commit to reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources, the demand for low-carbon fuels and chemicals like Blue Ammonia is expected to rise. Power generation from renewables provides a sustainable pathway for expanding Blue Ammonia production capacity.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the Asia Pacific region which are implementing policies and incentives to promote the development and adoption of blue ammonia as a clean energy carrier. These initiatives include carbon pricing mechanisms, subsidies for CCS projects, and research funding for ammonia-related technologies. Thus blue ammonia can be used as a feedstock for hydrogen production or directly as a fuel in transportation, industry, and power generation in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the proactive efforts of key market players within this region who are actively engaged in the development of various infrastructures for blue ammonia production. Linde successfully entered into a lasting contract to provide environmentally friendly hydrogen and various industrial gases to OCI's expansive blue ammonia plant situated in Beaumont, Texas. This state-of-the-art facility will be seamlessly integrated into Linde's extensive industrial gas infrastructure within the Gulf Coast region.
