Market Overview

The United Arab Emirates Ammonia Market Size comprises all activities involved in producing, distributing, and consuming ammonia derived from natural gas sources. Ammonia serves as a vital component for producing fertilizers, which help agricultural production and efforts to maintain food security. The UAE economy sees increased demand for industrial solutions as both industrial growth and sustainable development projects expand their use across sectors.

The UAE is developing a 1 mtpa low-carbon ammonia plant at TA'ZIZ in Al Ruwais through its In-Country Value (ICV) program and strategic partnerships, which will create local employment opportunities and boost export capacity. The UAE National Hydrogen Strategy 2050 establishes incentives for clean hydrogen and ammonia development, which will transform the UAE into a regional hub for clean fuels.

The UAE's TA'ZIZ low-carbon ammonia facility awarded its construction contract in May 2024, targeting 1 Mtpa output by 2027, with clean ammonia production by 2030. Mitsui and partners began building their project in June 2024 using CO2 capture technology. Future opportunities include expanding low-carbon exports and hydrogen value chains as clean fuel demand grows.
