In 2021, the demand for ammonia worldwide was estimated at 184 million metric tons, with agriculture and industry being the only application for the chemical. However, three new applications are expected to arise by 2050. Amongst these, shipping fuel is forecast to be the largest, with an ammonia demand of 182 million metric tons. Hydrogen carrier and power generation would follow, at 36 and 20 million metric tons, respectively. Nevertheless, agriculture and industry would still take the lead amongst ammonia applications in 2050, with an estimated demand of around 232 million metric tons.
