Grey, Blue, or Green: The Real Ammonia Math

•Equinor's blue hydrogen project (H2M, Groningen) was halted due to an absence of customers, despite securing support from the EU Innovation Fund and being positioned for industrial decarbonization.
•This failure indicates that the market for blue hydrogen/ammonia, even with policy backing, currently lacks sufficient customer demand at viable price points, posing a significant risk for developers.
•Developers and IPPs should prioritize securing firm off-take agreements and thoroughly assessing customer willingness-to-pay before committing to large-scale blue hydrogen/ammonia production projects.
