Clean ammonia project pipeline reaches 144 MMT by 2034 as industry advances


Gena Solutions tracks 327 clean ammonia projects, with four reaching development milestones in April.

The global clean ammonia pipeline now stands at 144m tonnes of capacity by 2034, according to Gena Solutions’ Project Navigator Ammonia database.

As of April 2026, the tracker covered 327 projects and operating facilities worldwide, including 292 renewable ammonia schemes representing 109m tonnes of capacity by 2034 and 35 low-carbon ammonia developments accounting for 35m tonnes. Total capacity by 2030 stood at 103m tonnes.

Gena Solutions said four projects moved forward during April. Atome Villeta in Paraguay reached a final investment decision after Atome signed a definitive equity agreement with an investor consortium. The development includes a 260,000-tonne clean ammonia facility using about 85,000 tonnes per year of captively produced renewable ammonia and had already secured debt financing documents together with a binding 10-year offtake deal.

In Australia, construction began on the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Project (GEGHA) in New South Wales, which is intended to produce 4,500 tonnes of renewable ammonia per year for local farmers.

Two other schemes entered the front-end engineering design phase. Hynfra awarded Topsoe a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for its Jordan Green Ammonia project, while NH3 Clean Energy selected Linde Engineering for FEED work on its WAH2 low-carbon ammonia project.

The consultancy noted that the renewable ammonia pipeline fell by nearly 2 million tonnes month-on-month after three new projects were added and six frozen entries were removed in the latest update.

Gena Solutions also mentioned that about 5.1m tonnes of renewable ammonia capacity is earmarked for captive processing into fertilisers or chemicals, most commonly ammonium nitrates and urea. It added that supply disruptions and high conventional fertiliser prices linked to the Hormuz shock could increase interest in locally produced fertilisers powered by domestic renewable energy.

As of April 2026, less than 7% of the renewable ammonia pipeline had reached Final Investment Decision (FID), with another 15% in engineering. For low-carbon ammonia, about 27% had reached FID, and 44% was in engineering.

Gena Solutions stated that most renewable and low-carbon ammonia projects still lack financing or offtake agreements. It estimates renewable ammonia capacity could reach 5m-10m tonnes by 2030, while low-carbon ammonia could reach 6m-10m tonnes, suggesting only a limited share of today’s pipeline is likely to be operating by the end of the decade.

The latest figures build on Gena Solutions’ earlier warning that clean ammonia development remains uneven, even as overall project capacity continues to expand.
