Brazil may produce and export green ammonia, says director of Siemens Energy for AL

According to Andreas Eisfelder, Director of New Energies for Latin America at Siemens Energy, Brazil may be an exporter of green ammonia, a biofuel produced from renewable hydrogen that is capable of replacing the bunker used by the shipping industry.
Responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions, the naval sector is among those that will have the greatest difficulty in decarbonizing their activities.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) target establishes that by 2030, carbon dioxide emissions in the shipping industry should be reduced by 40%, compared to 2008 levels.
“We need to find a carbon-neutral fuel that can replace that fuel. A candidate to achieve decarbonization may be ammonia, ”said Eisfelder during a webinar promoted by the IBP on May 26.
“Today, Brazil is able to produce green ammonia. And the innovation of combustion engines, which can work with ammonia as a fuel, is an example to decarbonize this industry,” he explained.
