Envision Launches First Global Shipment of Green Ammonia to South Korea, Pioneering Sustainable Energy
Envision Leads the Charge in Green Energy
In a groundbreaking event for the renewable energy sector, Envision has made history by completing the first global shipment of green ammonia from its facility in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, to LOTTE Fine Chemical in South Korea. This significant milestone not only showcases Envision's innovative approach to sustainable energy but also marks the inception of a comprehensive green ammonia value chain capable of addressing global energy demands.
The shipment, which is the world's first commercial green ammonia delivery, symbolizes a transformative step towards utilizing renewable hydrogen in the production and distribution of cleaner energy sources. Envision, recognized globally as a leading green technology firm, has employed advanced physical AI systems to optimize the wind and solar energy harvested at its Chifeng facility, ensuring a consistent supply for hydrogen synthesis. This leap into green ammonia production utilizes the abundant renewable resources of the Gobi Desert, centralizing the effort for zero-carbon fuel delivery.
Envision's Senior Vice President, Yimin Lou, emphasized the importance of this shipment by stating, "This vessel carries more than just ammonia; it carries our commitment to a sustainable future." He highlighted that this shipment validates the viability of the green ammonia value chain, which has now transitioned from concept to reality. As global partners and industries increasingly seek sustainable solutions in response to the climate crisis, this initiative sets a strong precedent for future projects worldwide.
Supporting this vision, Seung Won Chung, CEO of LOTTE Fine Chemical, dove into the significance of this initiative on a broader scale. He indicated that the launch of green ammonia is a critical starting point for building a robust green hydrogen and ammonia value chain, which is being recognized as a leading solution for the transition to carbon-free energy. He remarked on the collective goal of positioning their operations at the forefront of clean ammonia production in Asia, enhancing collaboration with industry leaders to make a significant impact.
Envision operates the largest green hydrogen and ammonia production base, boasting an impressive annual output of 320,000 tons of green ammonia, with exports expected to ramp up by the end of 2025. Looking ahead, production is projected to reach 1.5 million tons annually by 2028, establishing a replicable model for clean industrial hubs across the globe. The productivity of this endeavor is underpinned by proprietary, full-stack technologies designed specifically for green hydrogen and ammonia production, ensuring compliance with stringent industry certifications, including ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS.
In addition to its production capabilities, Envision’s innovative use of AI technology in wind-to-hydrogen systems maximizes the efficiency and reliability of the conversion process from renewable resources into green molecules. This cutting-edge approach not only increases output but also ensures that the production process remains sustainable and environmentally friendly.
During a presentation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 held in Davos, this project featured as a flagship case study in the WEF white paper titled, "From Blueprint to Reality: Delivering a Stronger Business Case for Energy Infrastructure." The recognition underlines the initiative's status as a global benchmark for the industrial shift towards zero-carbon operations.
As the world witnesses the ramifications of climate change, Envision's efforts in spearheading green ammonia production represent a pivotal move towards sustainable energy solutions. The steps taken by Envision, in partnership with LOTTE Fine Chemical, herald a new era of renewable energy, proving that the future of energy can be both environmentally friendly and economically viable. This marks just the beginning of what promises to be a transformative journey in the production and utilization of green energy resources worldwide.
