Ammonia in Industry and the Future of Fuel

Published on October 9, 2025

Ammonia has long been a cornerstone of industrial chemistry, particularly in the production of fertilisers. However, recent developments point to a new and exciting role for ammonia: as a clean, carbon‑free fuel. Companies in Japan and beyond are investing heavily in research to make ammonia a viable energy carrier for shipping, power generation and other applications.

Why ammonia? Unlike conventional fossil fuels, ammonia does not contain carbon. When burned or cracked to release hydrogen, it produces no carbon dioxide emissions. It also has a higher energy density than liquid hydrogen, making storage and transport more efficient. Challenges remain—such as controlling NOₓ emissions and ensuring safe handling—but innovations in catalysis and engine design are rapidly progressing.

At Tiger Trading, we follow these developments closely. Although our core business is supplying industrial gases and chemicals today, we believe green ammonia will play an important role in the transition to low‑carbon energy. In Bangladesh, adoption of cleaner fuels can help industries reduce their environmental footprint while supporting economic growth.

We look forward to working with partners who are exploring green ammonia projects and sustainable energy solutions. Contact us to discuss how our expertise in ammonia supply and logistics can support your initiatives.
