Discover the world of Ammonia 

Ammonia as an energy carrier, storage medium and chemical feedstock

From production and storage to its use as an energy carrier and chemical feedstock, this masterclass provides an in-depth understanding of the versatile applications of ammonia within the energy transition. 

How you benefit: 

  • Gain insights into ammonia as an energy carrier and its potential within the energy transition. 
  • Understand the role of ammonia in hydrogen value chains and its contribution to emission reduction. 
  • Deepen your knowledge of production processes, including electrolysis and the Haber-Bosch process, storage technologies such as cryogenic tanks, and ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion. 
  • Learn about economic and policy-related aspects, including cost analysis, subsidies, emission trading systems and international certification, such as ISCC and CertifHy. 

Ammonia is increasingly recognised as a key enabler in the global energy transition. With its unique properties as an energy carrier, storage medium and feedstock, ammonia can help address challenges in energy storage and transport. From applications in shipping and industrial processes to its connection with hydrogen production, ammonia has the potential to play an important role in a low-carbon economy. 

In one day, we explore the technological, economic and policy-related aspects of ammonia and examine how this technology contributes to a low-carbon future. Topics include the role of ammonia in the hydrogen value chain, the development of cracking technology, and the safety and environmental challenges associated with its use. 

After this masterclass, you will be able to 

  • Understand the role of ammonia as an energy carrier, including its storage, transport and production. 
  • Evaluate green versus grey ammonia and distinguish their applications within the energy transition. 
  • Analyse the technical requirements for storage facilities and pipeline systems. 
  • Interpret economic aspects such as costs, subsidies and certification standards. 
  • Gain insight into the geopolitical impact and market developments in ammonia production. 
  • Effectively apply innovations in the Haber-Bosch process and ammonia cracking technology. 
  • Critically assess safety and environmental aspects, including toxicity and emission risks. 
  • Develop strategic insights for the integration of ammonia fuel cells. 

What to expect during a masterclass 

In addition to inspiring content and valuable connections, we ensure a seamless learning experience.
