Media Partnership - Ammonia Europe launch event: Unlocking ammonia’s potential for Europe’s clean and resilient economy

We are excited to invite you to the launch of Ammonia Europe with an event dedicated to exploring the critical role of ammonia in Europe’s transition to a clean and resilient economy.

Ammonia is key to Europe’s transition to climate neutrality as it serves as decarbonisation vector and a fuel for the food, industrial, chemical, energy and maritime sectors. Europe is well positioned with strong players, established infrastructure, and decades of know-how, making ammonia a competitive decarbonisation solution for Europe.

Ammonia Europe is the voice of the European ammonia industry and its value chain with the mission to advance the decarbonisation of the industry and the uptake of clean ammonia across various sectors of Europe’s climate neutral and resilient economy.

The programme will feature a keynote on the role of ammonia within the clean industrial deal, followed by discussions on the role of renewable and low-carbon ammonia in the hydrogen economy, and the challenges and opportunities of producing and using ammonia as a clean resource. The event will conclude with a networking reception and walking dinner.
