Through this agreement, Marubeni aims to establish its position as a key supplier in the green ammonia market by through the sales and marketing activities.

Background and significance

Green ammonia, which does not emit CO₂ during its production process, is expected to contribute to various industries as a chemical and fertilizer feedstock and as an energy source suitable for decarbonisation. Envision, a world-leading company in green technology, plans to begin trial production of green ammonia with wind-generated electricity that was produced in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, in 2024. The company’s commercial green ammonia plants are scheduled to start operations from late 2025 onwards. With a production capacity of 300 000 tpy, this project is set to become the world’s first large scale green ammonia production project.

Future outlook

This project is part of Marubeni’s green ammonia strategy, which involves examining the potential of green ammonia as an industrial material for various purposes (such as for next-generation clean energy, fertilizer, and chemical raw material uses) and focusing on building a supply chain and expanding its utilisation. Going forward, Marubeni will continue to promote the spread of green ammonia and contribute to the realisation of a decarbonised society through this business initiative.
