Global Ammonia Cracking Catalysts Market Growth 2024-2030

Ammonia cracking is the process by which ammonia is decomposed towards hydrogen and nitrogen over a catalyst (based on base or pgm metals). It's typically used in applications where hydrogen is needed as either an energy source or fuel for downstream manufacturing processes.

Ammonia is a nitrogen-hydrogen compound that can be stored in liquid form in simple pressure vessels at temperatures around 100°C, 8 bar similar to natural gas. Ammonia is that it is the basic raw material for all nitrogen compounds and is already one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, with over 200 million tons/year produced. Therefore, the production technology and infrastructure already exist. Typically, ammonia is produced via the Haber-Bosch process, in which hydrogen gas reacts catalytically with nitrogen from the air. If hydrogen is produced from renewable energy, it is truly carbon neutral because there is no carbon involved. Ammonia could therefore be used as zero-emission energy storage in future zero-emission energy systems. Ammonia cracking is a less mature technology that is not yet widely available. In order for ammonia to be used as an economical energy store for hydrogen, a stable and robust product needs to be available. Ammonia cracking catalyst is an important product essential for ammonia hydrogen storage.

The global Ammonia Cracking Catalysts market size is projected to grow from US$ 9.4 million in 2024 to US$ 403 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 86.9% from 2024 to 2030.
