Milestone Zero enables offshore ammonia production with in-situ CCS
- Published July 17, 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Available worldwide. Categories: Hydrogen; Energy; CCUS.
- Milestone Zero proposes a floating offshore facility that converts stranded or associated natural gas into hydrogen and ammonia, while capturing the by-product CO₂ and injecting it into a nearby subsea reservoir. The process uses steam methane or autothermal reforming. The concept draws on offshore field-development experience, gas-reservoir and CCS knowledge, and ammonia-plant design and manufacturing.
- The company works with gas-resource owners and licensees, strategic partner TGS ASA and technical partner Kongsberg Maritime ASA. The page says the solution can produce up to 840,000 metric tons of ammonia per year from stranded gas, shipping the product directly to market for use as fuel, mineral-fertiliser feedstock and in other industrial applications. Injecting CO₂ nearby is presented as avoiding transport to distant storage sites and onshore processing.
- The article frames energy and food self-sufficiency and supply security as growing concerns amid population growth and geopolitical uncertainty. It says natural gas, an important feedstock for ammonia and mineral fertiliser, remains stranded in many regions; unlocking it requires lower-emissions production with commercial viability.
- Market demand for ammonia is described as expanding from fertiliser into shipping, power generation and industrial decarbonisation. The article refers to market opportunities identified by S&P Global, Rystad Energy, DNV and the Ammonia Energy Association, and says Norwegian and UK regulators support developments within existing frameworks. Customers include upstream gas owners and national energy companies, and downstream ammonia users such as fertiliser manufacturers, fuel and energy companies. Milestone Zero says it builds offshore ammonia value chains with these participants and industry partners. SDGs 7 and 9 shown.
