Green Ammonia Use Case: Refineries and Fertilizers
Global Trends
Green ammonia use in refineries and fertilizer plants can significantly drive decarbonisation in both sectors. Hydrogen use in both sectors is being actively pursued to meet decarbonisation targets. Global and Indian refinery players as well as fertilizer manufacturing players are discussing collaborative arrangements with renewable energy players to manufacture green ammonia close to refining and fertilizer industry clusters, at a price that is competitive with fossil fuel alternatives in the medium to long term.
IH2A Position
IH2A expects steel, refineries, and fertilizers industrial clusters to be hydrogen early adopters, as part of their decarbonisation plans, with potentially distributed models. Industrial plants and clusters with proximity to renewable energy sources can be hydrogen offtakers if supported with incentives, integrated hydrogen production facilities and locally available hydrogen infrastructure.
IH2A recommends that the Bharat H2 Industrial Group, should bring together sectoral ministries and industry leaders should be constituted to identify common set of fiscal incentives, consortia structures and hydrogen commercialisation processes for identified plants/clusters that choose to take lead on early hydrogen adoption. This would establish hydrogen adoption pathways and incentives to encourage Blue and Green Ammonia use in refineries and fertilizer plants.
