Argus Clean Ammonia Asia Conference 2024 Hotel Okura Tokyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo

This conference will provide a key meeting point through which regional and international senior stakeholders can connect to discuss new opportunities and form partnerships at the core of one of the world’s key demand centres for clean ammonia.

Japan has led discussions in Asia and around the globe regarding the importance of ammonia in the decarbonisation of industries and in the transition to a net zero world. With crucial regulatory and market announcements expected in 2024 from Japan, this event will provide you with the key updates you need to know, including what expected demand coming from Asia looks like.

With attendees from across the value chain, topics for discussion will also include infrastructure and storage availability in Asia, cracking technology readiness and import project development, financing for clean ammonia export projects, procurement and contract structures, as well as key supplier updates on supply projects looking to target the region.

With various industries, including power generation, shipping or other hard to abate sectors exploring ammonia’s adoption as a hydrogen carrier, clean ammonia is set to play a major role in reaching net zero goals across the Asia region. Do not miss your opportunity to meet with senior industry stakeholders and gain the latest insights you need to understand how to shape your business strategy on the path to net zero.
