A green ammonia plant produces ammonia using renewable energy sources, typically through electrolysis-powered hydrogen combined with nitrogen from the air. Unlike conventional ammonia production, which relies on fossil fuels and emits significant CO₂, green ammonia is carbon-free, making it a sustainable alternative for agriculture, energy storage, and fuel. These plants integrate technologies like solar or wind power, electrolyzers, and Haber-Bosch synthesis units to create a clean, scalable solution for decarbonizing heavy industries and global supply chains.
This Finance Model provides a dynamic (up to 15 years) forecast and profitability analysis of a development and operating scenario for a Green Ammonia Plant and enables users to get a solid understanding of the financial feasibility of the project and to evaluate the return to investors.
