The EU has set a mandate for 42% of hydrogen used by its industries to be produced via renewables by 2030.
But while this explicitly excludes other low-carbon H2, research house BNEF points out that imports of blue ammonia could still play a major role in Europe meeting this target.
The EU would have to produce 5.6 million tonnes of green ammonia a year domestically in order to meet the 42% displacement target by 2030, based on current ammonia production levels
