WAH₂ – Low Emissions Ammonia

The WAH₂ project exemplifies innovation, strategic foresight, and industry leadership:

A Pioneer in Clean Ammonia: Positioned as one of Australia’s largest ammonia projects, WAH₂ leverages proven technology and strategic partnerships to deliver at scale before 2030.
Unmatched Infrastructure Advantages: The project’s proximity to a deepwater port, existing gas pipelines, and mature CCS facilities enables cost-efficient operations.

Strategic Global Partnerships: Collaborations with industry leaders like Chevron and Pilbara Ports Authority de-risk development and ensure accelerated progress.

Clean ammonia is revolutionising the global energy landscape by enabling a sustainable and efficient transition to net-zero emissions:

Emissions-Free at Use: Clean ammonia produces no emissions at the point of consumption, making it ideal for heavy industries and transportation.
A Closed Carbon Loop: Using advanced carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, CO₂ is sequestered in the same fields where natural gas is extracted, creating a circular and sustainable process.
Efficient Hydrogen Delivery: As a stable, energy-dense carrier, ammonia is the most practical way to store and transport hydrogen globally.
Decarbonising Heavy Industry: Ammonia plays a pivotal role in reducing emissions in sectors like power generation and shipping, which are otherwise difficult to decarbonise.

The clean ammonia sector is gaining rapid traction, supported by robust policy frameworks and market incentives:

Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive: The Australian Government is incentivising low-emission ammonia production for both domestic use and exports.
Infrastructure and Grant Support: Western Australia’s initiatives, such as the Pilbara Carbon Capture and Storage Project, strengthen the foundation for large-scale clean energy projects.
International Demand: Policies like Japan’s Hydrogen Society Promotion Act highlight the global need for clean ammonia, particularly in replacing coal for power generation and decarbonising marine fuels.

Clean ammonia is not just an energy solution for the world—it is a game-changer for Australia’s economy and sustainability:

Future-Proofing Exports: By embracing clean ammonia, Australia strengthens its position as a global energy exporter in a decarbonised future.
Sustainable Material Logistics: Low-emission ammonia fuels the export of Australia’s natural resources, aligning with global climate targets.
Value Creation at Home: Transforming local raw materials into high-value, low-carbon energy products boosts Australia’s economy while supporting the energy transition.

Advanced Technology: WAH₂uses gas reforming with CCS, a proven, lower-cost method compared to electrolysis-based solutions.

NH3’s WAH₂ Project Design Drives Competitive Advantage

Fast-Track to Market: Strategic planning and secured agreements position WAH₂ as Australia’s most advanced clean ammonia export project, with production targeted before 2030.
Aligned with Global Goals: The project meets Japan’s stringent clean ammonia criteria, including emissions intensity, cost competitiveness, and supply security, further enhancing its market appeal.
