The conventional production process used to create ammonia is carbon-intensive, accounting for approximately 1% of total Co2 emissions. Using alternative green processes across large industries, such as agriculture, could have an impact on global emission reductions.
Ammonia is often an ingredient of soil fertiliser used on agricultural land to increase crop yield. This proposed new Methodology for the Production of Green Ammonia from Gold Standard would be applicable globally, and is applicable to project activities that produce ammonia for fertilisers using less carbon-intensive processes than conventional production, mainly through the use of renewable energy.
