Following green and sustainable development is not only the mainstream consensus advocated by the international community today, but also the only way for all walks of life, especially the industrial industry, to accelerate energy transformation and move towards the future industry. However, global carbon dioxide emissions are showing a serious trend of increasing, and the situation should not be underestimated. According to data released by the International Energy Agency (IEA) on March 2, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions reached more than 36.8 billion tons in 2022, an increase of 321 million tons over the previous year. In addition, the world economy faces many uncertainties due to the instability of supply chains and resource extraction. To address these issues, harnessing green and blue energy (also known as infiltration energy), building a circular economy and improving operational resilience have become the core focus of the global chemical industry’s quest for a sustainable energy future.

Ammonia is composed of hydrogen and nitrogen, is one of the important inorganic chemical products, but also the basic elements of the preparation of green and blue energy, widely used in chemical, food and agriculture industries. Due to its efficient and environmentally friendly properties, ammonia is expected to be used as an important decarbonized raw material in future industrial applications to reduce carbon emissions and reduce global dependence on fossil fuels, becoming a key engine to promote the global industrial energy transition. Driven by carbon tax legislation, government incentives, and companies’ own sustainability goals, the global ammonia industry is dominated by Green ammonia and Blue ammonia projects. The former focuses on key factors such as renewable energy, sustainability and electrolysis technology cost, and mainly focuses on regional small-scale production; The latter, on the other hand, is primarily measured by natural gas resources, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and infrastructure, and low capital expenditures, often relying on large-scale production facilities.

There is a growing demand for ammonia. As a global expert in digital transformation in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric is committed to leading the global ammonia industry towards sustainable development by creating a new industry paradigm, using energy efficiency, process electrification, automation innovation and the convergence of digital technologies as catalysts.

On the other hand, in order to better address the challenges of sustainable development, Schneider Electric believes that companies should optimise the synergy between energy, automation and software. Among them, energy supply is the basis of enterprise entity assets to create value, and effective management and decarbonization technology can help enterprises realize ecological benefits. In addition to maintaining the normal production activities of enterprises, component automation technology can optimize energy and resource utilization and improve the economic efficiency of enterprises. At the same time, digital software for predictive analytics and optimization can not only help companies operate intelligentiously, but also improve overall energy efficiency and improve the design and operation of processes. The three complement each other and are the three major elements for enterprises to achieve sustainable development goals.
