The Canada Ammonia Market size was valued at USD 2.84 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 3.01 billion in 2026 to USD 4.56 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period 2026–2034.
The market growth is driven by strong fertiliser demand from Canada’s grain-producing provinces, especially Saskatchewan and Alberta, and increasing investments in low-carbon ammonia to support clean energy and hydrogen strategies. Government-backed initiatives for emissions reduction and Canada’s Hydrogen Strategy are accelerating green ammonia development, positioning the country as a future exporter in global clean energy markets.
Is green ammonia the next clean energy export for Canada?
With Canada aiming to become a global hydrogen leader, green ammonia is gaining attention as a key energy carrier. The government’s Hydrogen Strategy for Canada, launched in 2020, identifies ammonia as a crucial vector for hydrogen exports to Asia and Europe. Companies like EverWind Fuels in Nova Scotia and Yara Clean Ammonia began developing large-scale green ammonia facilities in 2024, supported by provincial and federal funding. These projects, targeting operational capacities of up to 1 million tonnes annually, align with Canada’s push to decarbonise heavy industries and expand clean fuel exports, adding a new dimension to the ammonia market beyond agriculture.
Canada’s agriculture relies heavily on nitrogen-based fertilizers, with ammonia being central in boosting crop yields across major grain and oilseed farms. Statistics Canada reported a steady rise in crop acreage for wheat, barley, and canola, reinforcing demand for anhydrous ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). Additionally, the expansion of grain exports, particularly to Asia, has prompted growers to optimise yield through intensive fertiliser use. Companies such as Nutrien, headquartered in Saskatchewan, are ramping up local ammonia supply to support this growth. The result is sustained domestic consumption and stable pricing, driving overall market resilience.
Fertiliser use continues to anchor ammonia demand in Canada, particularly in provinces like Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. Rising global food demand and trade opportunities, especially for wheat, lentils, and canola, have led Canadian farmers to invest in high-efficiency fertiliser practices. Programs like 4R Nutrient Stewardship also promote responsible ammonia use while maintaining productivity. This long-term demand ensures a steady baseline for the ammonia market, encouraging upstream production investments and downstream distribution improvements across the Prairie provinces.
Canada’s push for net-zero emissions by 2050 drives significant investments in clean hydrogen and ammonia production. Under the federal Clean Fuel Regulations and Hydrogen Strategy, ammonia is prioritised for its ability to store and transport hydrogen economically. In 2024, the government announced over CAD 1.5 billion in clean tech funding, with portions allocated to ammonia-based hydrogen projects in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Alberta. These initiatives are reducing the carbon intensity of domestic production and positioning Canada as a reliable supplier to hydrogen-importing nations like Japan and Germany.
