Production capacity of selected low carbon ammonia producers worldwide 2016-2021

The largest low carbon ammonia producers worldwide as of 2022 based on installed capacity was SABIC Agri-Nutrients Company (formerly Saudi Arabian Fertilizer Company "SAFCO" ), with a total capacity of 1.16 million metric tons per year. Ammonia production with reduced carbon footprint has been achieved through the use of by-product hydrogen from ethane crackers and waste plastic gasification, as well as CO2 utilization for enhanced oil recovery and methanol production. These plants therefore have a reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional steam methane reforming (SMR) methods.

截至2022年，基于装机容量，全球最大的低碳氨生产商为SABIC Agri-Nutrients Company（前身为沙特阿拉伯化肥公司“SAFCO”），其年总产能达到116万吨。通过利用乙烷裂解装置的副产品氢气和废塑料气化产生的氢气，以及利用二氧化碳进行增强油气开采和甲醇生产，实现了减少碳排放的氨生产。因此，这些工厂相较于传统的蒸汽甲烷重整（SMR）方法，具有更低的碳足迹。
