The renewable ammonia sector recorded another month of gradual growth in March 2026, with the global pipeline increasing by 0.7 million tonnes month on month, according to the latest update from GENA Solutions’ Project Navigator Ammonia database.

By the end of March, GENA was tracking 325 projects and operational facilities, representing 106 million tonnes of capacity by 2030 and 146 million tonnes by 2034. Of that total, 290 renewable ammonia projects account for 111 million tonnes of capacity by 2034, while 35 low-carbon ammonia projects represent 35 million tonnes.

Several projects moved forward during the month. In India, one project awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) study, while Reliance Industries and Samsung C&T signed a binding long-term agreement for the supply of green ammonia from India over a 15-year period.

In China, one renewable ammonia project signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, while another launched a tender for EPC services. In Paraguay, ATOME Energy signed definitive debt financing documents for its Villeta project.

The month also brought setbacks. Iverson eFuels said it would freeze its 200,000-tonne-per-annum renewable ammonia project in Sauda, Norway, citing “the withdrawal of allocated grid capacity and uncertainty regarding future access” as the main reason. The project had previously delayed its commercial start-up to 2031 at the earliest, which resulted in the loss of previously reserved grid capacity.

Six new projects were added to the database in the latest release, while one frozen project was removed.

GENA said around 5 million tonnes of renewable ammonia capacity has now reached final investment decision (FID), either in operational facilities or in projects under construction, with a further 12 million tonnes in the engineering stage. By comparison, low-carbon ammonia accounts for about 7 million tonnes of post-FID capacity and 11 million tonnes in engineering, despite the renewable ammonia pipeline being around three times larger.

Around 84% of renewable ammonia projects are still at the feasibility or pre-feasibility stage. According to GENA Solutions, given expected demand growth, competition levels and continued regulatory setbacks, only a relatively small share of those projects is likely to reach operation.
