Empowering Industry: Hydrogen’s Role in Decarbonizing the Ammonia Industry

Synopsis

Hydrogen plays a crucial role as a feedstock in ammonia production, with fertilizer production consuming 88 percent of ammonia in the United States. Decarbonizing ammonia production involves replacing natural gas reforming with clean hydrogen sources. These presentations will explore the potential scalability pathways for hydrogen within the fertilizer industry, the benefits of hydrogen-based ammonia production for energy independence, trade relations, and global supply chains, and address the challenges in hydrogen production for ammonia, including water usage, emissions, and waste management.

Presentation Topics:

1. Hydrogen-Based Ammonia Production and its Role in Energy Independence and Global Supply Chains
   • Presenter: Natalie Gupta, CEO, Ionico
2. LSB Industries Projects and Green Future
   • Presenter: Jakob Krummenacher, Vice President of Clean Energy, LSB Industries

Q&A Session
Following the presentations, Natalie Gupta and Jakob Krummenacher will participate in a Q&A, discussing practical challenges and addressing audience questions on topics such as hydrogen production, emissions, and water usage in ammonia production.
