The outlook for low carbon hydrogen
The scale up of low carbon hydrogen has proved slower, more selective and more geographically concentrated than the ambitious plans announced earlier in the decade had anticipated.

While the power sector has been advanced as a major long term source of demand for emerging low carbon ammonia projects, the pace of development in leading proponents such as Japan and South Korea remains patchy.
Air Liquide examines how its Lurgi™ ATR and Recticap™ carbon-capture technologies can support scalable, cost-effective low-carbon ammonia production.
Stamicarbon explores how blue and green ammonia technologies can enable scalable, lower carbon production for fertilizer and energy applications.
Woodside Energy has placed its newly operational Beaumont New Ammonia (BNA) plant in Texas under review. It is also abandoning $5 billion of planned investment in new energy projects.
In its second quarter 2026 results filing, CF Industries said that construction of its new Blue Point ammonia plant will begin in August this year. The Blue Point One project is a joint venture is with JERA Co., Inc. and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia from a […]
South Korea has acted to de-emphasise low-carbon ammonia co-firing in coal plants from its power sector decarbonisation policy. The government has withdrawn a key implementation mechanism: coal–ammonia co-firing is excluded from support through the 2026 clean hydrogen power auction market.
VK Arora of Kinetics Process Improvements (KPI) compares the delivered-cost competitiveness of blue ammonia from regions including the US Gulf Coast, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada, the Middle East, Indonesia, and Malaysia into Japan, the European Union, and South Korea.
Selecting the right syngas technology is a critical early decision for low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia projects. Shell shows how gas-based partial oxidation (POx) can offer a potentially simpler and lower-cost route designed to deliver high carbon capture performance.
