The global ammonia market is projected to grow to 102.74 billion dollars by 2031. While agricultural demand remains the primary driver, there is a significant shift toward low-carbon production methods and green ammonia, particularly within the European market. Industrial applications in textiles and water treatment are also expanding. The transition to sustainable ammonia is being pushed by stricter environmental regulations and the need for emissions-reduction strategies in heavy industry.

Market report says low carbon solutions are driving growth, but the bulk of the volume is still just standard fertilizer. Interesting to see Europe pushing the green ammonia angle while the rest of the world focuses on scale.
Green ammonia needs massive amounts of renewable power for electrolysis. I wonder if the report accounts for the actual grid capacity needed to hit these low carbon targets, or if it is just assuming the power will be there.
The growth in Europe is likely tied to carbon pricing and subsidy frameworks rather than pure market demand. Without a clear price premium for green ammonia, the transition stays dependent on policy.
The mention of aqueous ammonia for emissions control is a practical detail. Using it for SCR in industrial plants is a standard way to cut NOx, but the logistics of handling it safely always add to the cost.
