Fortescue will use green ammonia to decarbonise our company’s mining and shipping fleet.
We’ve announced a goal to reach real zero by 2030, positioning the company as a leader in addressing the global climate change challenge.
Producing green hydrogen is key to achieving this goal. Using green ammonia is key to achieving this goal.
What is Green Ammonia?
Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
By combining nitrogen with hydrogen using renewable resources, like wind, solar, hydropower and geothermal energy, we get green ammonia with zero emissions.
How is Green Ammonia Made?
We create green ammonia by reacting nitrogen with hydrogen at high temperatures and pressures. We extract nitrogen from the air and generate hydrogen through electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.
This entire process is powered by renewable energy, resulting in zero emissions.
How is Green Ammonia Used?
Green Ammonia is a powerhouse of potential.
From fuel to fertilisers, green ammonia is set to revolutionise multiple industries and support our goal of zero emissions by 2030.
Support Industries
Green ammonia has a range of manufacturing and industrial applications, from pharmaceuticals to water purification.
Fuel Engines
Green ammonia will power locomotives and ships, replacing diesel and marine fuel.
Generate Electricity
We can drastically reduce carbon emission through using green ammonia as a fuel source for electricity power generation.
Create Fertilisers
Green ammonia can be used as a building block to make fertilisers for agriculture.
