Top 10 Players in the Green Ammonia Market

Green ammonia or ammonia produced with nearly zero carbon emissions, is becoming an integral piece of the energy transition. It’s not only used as feedstock for fertilizer production, but it’s increasingly being seen as a low-carbon energy carrier for various applications such as shipping, power, and even hydrogen storage. Many chemical, energy, and fertilizer companies are now investing heavily in green or low-carbon ammonia to reduce carbon production in their operations and tap into emerging demand. Top 10 Players in the Green Ammonia Market Yara International ASA Headquarters: Oslo, Norway Founded: 1905 2025 Highlight: In February 2025, Yara Clean Ammonia which is the company’s low-emission ammonia branch signed its first time-charter agreement with NYK (Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha) for a 40,000 m³ medium gas carrier that runs on ammonia. This move strengthens Yara’s “well-to-wake” supply chain for low-carbon marine ammonia. Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO) Headquarters: Mesaieed Industrial City, Qatar Founded: 1969 as a joint venture between Qatar government and foreign partners 2025 Highlight: In August 2025, QatarEnergy ,which controls QAFCO, issued an EPC tender for a major new low-carbon ammonia and urea complex in Mesaieed. The planned capacity is 6.4 million tonnes per year, including ammonia units, urea lines, a 400 MW power plant, CO₂ injection and storage, and expanded logistics. PJSC Togliattiazot or TOAZ Headquarters: Tolyatti, Russia Founded: 1974 2025 Highlight: In June 2025, TOAZ signed an agreement with the Samara regional government at SPIEF for more than 80 billion rubles in investment. This includes building a new urea or carbamide unit capable of producing 2,500 tonnes/day, which would add about 800,000 tonnes/year of urea capacity. OCI Global N.V. Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands Founded: Though its roots go back to the 1950s in the name of Orascom Construction, as OCI NV the company was restructured and listed in 2013. 2025 Highlight: In April 2025, OCI completed a liquid ammonia ship-to-ship bunkering pilot measuring 800 m³ in Rotterdam, working with partners like Trammo and James Fisher Fendercare reinforcing its role in ammonia as a marine fuel. Koch Fertilizer (Koch Ag & Energy Solutions) Headquarters: Wichita, Kansas, USA Founded: 1940 2025 Highlight: In May 2025, Koch Fertilizer announced that four of its sites (in Enid, OK; Wever, Iowa; Brandon, Manitoba; Fort Dodge, Iowa) earned ENERGY STAR certification for energy efficiency, placing them in the top quartile of nitrogen fertilizer plants on energy management. IFFCO (Indian Farmers’ Fertiliser Cooperative Limited) Headquarters: New Delhi, India Founded: 1967 2025 Highlight: In May 2025, IFFCO signed an MoU with the Foundation for Development of Rural Value Chains (FDRVC) to provide next-generation nano-fertilisers to Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). This aims to help adoption of advanced fertilizer technology at the grassroots. Group DF (Ostchem) Headquarters: Kyiv, Ukraine Founded: 2007 2025 Highlight: In Q1 2025, Ostchem (Group DF’s nitrogen arm) increased fertilizer production by 5.3% to 529,300 tonnes. But for H1 2025, production fell by 7.5% to 849,900 tonnes, due to forced shutdowns (e.g., at Cherkasy Azot) caused by energy supply instability. To manage, Group DF is redistributing production loads to its more stable plants such as Rivneazot. EuroChem Group Headquarters: Zug, Switzerland Founded: The current EuroChem Group was formed in its modern structure in the early 2000s; its operations trace back to companies in Russia and Europe. 2025 Highlight: In March 2025, EuroChem launched “Croplex” in Russia , a specialized fertilizer that mixes fast-release sulfate sulfur with slow-release elemental sulfur, used for pre-sowing on cereals, oilseeds, and row crops. This enhances nutrient efficiency and diversifies EuroChem’s specialty fertilizer offering. CSBP Limited Headquarters: Kwinana, Western Australia, Australia Founded: 1910 2025 Highlight: In February 2025, CSBP placed its Kwinana superphosphate plant into care-and-maintenance amid weak demand and rising costs, repurposing the site for storage. Meanwhile, first-half fertilizer sales grew by 31%, completed a USD 11 million upgrade to its import conveyor, and advanced a proposal for a production volume of 300,000 tonnes a year ammonia plant. CF Industries Holdings, Inc. Headquarters: Northbrook, Illinois, USA Founded: 1946 2025 Highlight: In April 2025, CF formed a joint venture with JERA and Mitsui to build a low-carbon ammonia facility in Louisiana. CF owns 40% of this US$4 billion project, which will use ATR reforming CO₂ capture to separate emissions. The target capacity is 1.4 million tonnes a year, with production expected to begin in 2029.
