North America Green Ammonia Market Outlook

The North America green ammonia market size reached approximately USD 81 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 53.7% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of around USD 4,870.01 million by 2032.

Key Trends in the Market

Ammonia (NH3) is a pungent gas widely employed in the production of agricultural fertilisers, meanwhile, green ammonia is a type of ammonia produced using renewable energy sources and a sustainable, environmentally friendly process. Green ammonia possesses an identical chemical composition to its conventional counterpart.

• In recent years, the increasing importance of combating climate change has significantly impacted the North America green ammonia market growth. Governments, industries, and consumers alike are increasingly recognising the critical need to transition away from carbon-intensive practices towards more sustainable alternatives. Green ammonia, produced from renewable energy sources, stands as a promising solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in heavy industrial and transportation sectors.

• The increasing agricultural production presents itself as one of the key North America green ammonia market trends. The agriculture sector stands as the major consumer of ammonia-based fertilisers, and the increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally conscientious farming methodologies has prompted a transition towards fertilisers derived from green ammonia, which is expected to substantially enhance the growth of the market.

• The production of green ammonia heavily relies on the efficiency and scalability of electrolysis technology. Recent strides in this technology have propelled the North America green ammonia market demand, leading to the adoption of more cost-effective and energy-efficient processes, making green ammonia production increasingly viable.
