Conference Outline

Fuel ammonia is keenly anticipated to be an effective means to combat global warming. This International Conference will take place with the aim of development of stable, affordable and flexible ammonia supply chains and markets. It will serve as a platform for both public and private sectors to share their strategies, initiatives and challenges, while reviewing the steadily growing awareness of ammonia in the international arena such as G7 Summit 2023.

In the technology developments of fuel ammonia, research of the realization of zero-emission thermal power generation has been leading until now. However, today’s ammonia has remarkably extended its significant role in various practical application. It can be used as marine fuel, fuel for industrial furnaces, and to produce hydrogen by cracking ammonia. The hydrogen is used as fuel or as a raw material for chemicals. Moreover, overseas initiatives are launching a string of projects to produce blue ammonia and green ammonia. Throughout the Conference, discussion will center on the potential and future prospects of the ammonia, clearing a path to make broader contributions with a long-term perspective toward decarbonization.

As you will be aware, the Conference is held as a part of Tokyo GX Week which the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is organizing with a target of a realization of green transformation (GX), following last fall’s event. The GX is a successful shift in industrial structure to a clean energy-centered economy and society, which leads to not only decarbonization but an economic growth and development.
