ICE's Renewable Ammonia Projects Set to Disrupt European Markets
Key Ideas
  • InterContinental Energy's (ICE) large-scale hydrogen projects could reduce the premium of renewable ammonia over grey ammonia by more than 50%, potentially revolutionizing European markets.
  • ICE's projects in Australia and Oman, with a combined potential hydrogen output of 8.4 million tons per annum, aim to significantly contribute to global hydrogen production.
  • By focusing on low-cost ammonia production and strategic location selection criteria, ICE is poised to achieve competitive pricing and disrupt the ammonia market.
  • Comparisons with other market players like Fertiglobe reveal ICE's potential to offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions for the growing demand in the hydrogen sector.
InterContinental Energy (ICE) is making significant strides in the renewable energy sector with its ambitious hydrogen projects, particularly in the production of renewable ammonia. At the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, ICE's CEO, Alexander Tancock, shared insights into the company's plans to revolutionize the market by reducing the premium of renewable ammonia compared to grey ammonia. ICE's projects, including the Australian Renewable Energy Hub and the Green Energy Oman initiative, showcase the company's commitment to large-scale renewable energy and hydrogen production. With a projected hydrogen output of 8.4 million tons per annum once all projects are operational, ICE aims to surpass total hydrogen consumption in several European countries. By offering renewable ammonia at $650/ton, ICE could potentially disrupt the market by providing a more cost-effective alternative, especially when considering freight costs to Europe. Despite potential fluctuations in premium pricing over the next few years, ICE remains optimistic about its competitive position and the role its projects will play in the energy transition. ICE's focus on low-cost production is underpinned by strategic location selection criteria, emphasizing access to renewable resources and stable political environments. By targeting regions like Australia and the Middle East, ICE aims to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness in its operations. Comparisons with industry players like Fertiglobe highlight ICE's potential to offer competitive solutions to meet the growing demand for sustainable hydrogen products. With a clear vision for the future, ICE is set to make a significant impact on the global ammonia market and contribute to the advancement of renewable energy technologies.
