North America leads global ammonia capacity additions by 2030, driven by demand for fertilizers in agriculture. The region’s natural gas abundance reduces production costs, making ammonia production economically feasible. Projects in the US, Canada, and Mexico will contribute to a total capacity increase of 27.25 million tonnes per annum.
In North America, the ‘St Charles Clean Fuels St. James Parish Ammonia Plant’ is a notable upcoming project in Louisiana, with a capacity of 3.0 million tonnes per annum. Other significant capacity additions include projects in Louisiana and West Virginia, all contributing to the region’s growth in ammonia production.
Asia is expected to witness substantial ammonia capacity additions of 17.40 million tonnes per annum by 2030, with India, China, and Indonesia leading the way. The ‘Reliance Industries Jamnagar Ammonia Plant’ in Gujarat, India, is set to contribute significantly to the region’s capacity increase.
The former Soviet Union, Middle East, and Africa are also expected to add significant ammonia production capacity by 2030, with Russia, Iran, and Egypt playing key roles.
