Norway’s Yara and Azane Fuel Solutions have signed a deal to create a Scandinavian network of bunker terminals to supply ships with zero-carbon ammonia as marine fuel, the companies said on Friday.<\/p>\n

They said the network will make “green” ammonia – produced from renewable electricity – available for the shipping industry in the region by 2024, which is also when the first ships with ammonia-fueled engines are expected to enter the market.<\/p>\n

A hydrogen-carrying chemical primarily used as a fertilizer, ammonia is one of several candidates to become the shipping industry’s preferred zero-carbon shipping fuel.<\/p>\n

“These bunkering terminals are key pieces in the puzzle that must be in place to ensure reliable and secure ammonia supply as zero-emission fuel,” Magnus Krogh Ankarstrand, head of Yara’s Clean Ammonia unit, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Azane Fuel Solutions, a Norwegian ammonia bunkering technology company that will design and build the terminals, last year received public funding for a pilot project to build the world’s first ammonia bunkering terminal in Norway.<\/p>\n

The terminals will be both land-based and floating, Yara said. It provided no detail of the cost of the project or how many terminals it planned to set up.<\/p>\n

Yara aims to cut all CO2 emissions from its ammonia plant in Porsgrunn in southern Norway by switching to renewable electricity from natural gas as a feedstock. It also has green ammonia projects in Australia and in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
