Independent research & intelligence
The Ammonia Observatory is an independent think tank monitoring global green ammonia projects, price signals, and policy developments — making sense of the molecule at the heart of the clean energy transition.
What we track
From engineers to policymakers — the Observatory cuts through fragmented information to give you a clear, consolidated picture of the global ammonia energy landscape.
Latest insights
Analysis and commentary on ammonia as a fuel — grounded in data, written for decision-makers.
Analysis
Why ammonia cracking efficiency is the critical bottleneck for the hydrogen carrier thesis
The economics of shipping green hydrogen as ammonia depend almost entirely on the reconversion step. We model the break-even cost scenarios across five major import corridors.
Policy
IMO's 2030 targets and what they mean for ammonia bunkering infrastructure
Data
Green ammonia project pipeline update: 14 new announcements in Q1 2026
About
"Ammonia is not just a fertiliser feedstock — it is one of the most credible vectors for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. The data landscape should reflect that importance."
The Ammonia Observatory is an independent research initiative dedicated to making the global ammonia energy transition legible. We bring together analysts, researchers, and industry specialists to monitor, interpret, and publish data on green ammonia production, trade, technology, and policy.
Our work fills a gap in the market. Project announcements are buried in press releases. Price signals are locked behind expensive subscriptions. Policy changes are scattered across regulatory bodies in a dozen jurisdictions. The Observatory consolidates all of this into a single, accessible resource — free at its core, with no advertiser influence and no corporate agenda.
We believe that better information leads to better decisions, and that accelerating the ammonia energy transition requires a shared, trusted foundation of data that everyone — from port operators to policymakers — can build on.
