A secure, sovereign supply of green ammonia
Ammonia plays a critical role in modern agriculture and global food supply chains, with around 70% used in fertiliser production. The global ammonia market is projected to grow from 204 million tonnes in 2024 to 380 million tonnes by 2050, driven largely by demand for low-carbon ammonia.
Beyond agriculture, ammonia is expected to become increasingly important as an industrial feedstock, a low-emissions energy carrier, and a storage medium that can support renewable energy integration and decarbonisation.
Benefits of our technology
Secure, sovereign supply
Jupiter Ionics’ technology supports localised ammonia manufacturing, strengthening supply chain resilience. Its distributed production model makes supply less vulnerable to geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, logistics bottlenecks, or outages at any single production location.
Reliable & predictable
Conventional ammonia production relies heavily on natural gas, exposing producers and customers to fuel price volatility. Jupiter Ionics’ technology uses abundant inputs such as water and air, powered by renewable electricity, reducing dependence on gas and supporting greater long-term price certainty.
Carbon neutral
Traditional Haber–Bosch production generates around two tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of ammonia. Jupiter Ionics’ technology instead uses air, water and renewable electricity, enabling carbon-neutral production, while local manufacturing further cuts transport emissions.
Modular & scalable
Jupiter Ionics’ technology supports decentralised ammonia production at a range of scales and locations. Its modular design allows capacity to be expanded as demand grows, lowering the upfront cost penalty of large centralised production facilities.
Fuel, energy and industrial applications
In addition to fertiliser, ammonia is used in fuel, energy storage, mining, refrigeration, and chemical manufacturing. Jupiter Ionics’ technology can help reduce emissions across these established and emerging ammonia markets.
Marine fuel
Ammonia is being developed as a lower-emissions fuel for international shipping, with potential to replace heavy fuel oil in hard-to-abate marine transport.
Energy storage & export
Ammonia can store renewable energy in a transportable form, providing export opportunities for countries with abundant solar and wind resources. Existing ammonia storage and transport infrastructure also gives it advantages over hydrogen for long-distance distribution.
Mining and explosives production
Ammonia is a key input in explosives used across mining and resource extraction.
Refrigeration
Ammonia is widely used in industrial refrigeration because of its high efficiency and strong thermodynamic performance.
Chemical manufacturing
Ammonia is an important feedstock for chemicals such as nitric acid and other nitrogen-based products.
