Brazil is actively exploring ammonia as part of its marine decarbonization strategy, leveraging its large agricultural and chemical sectors for ammonia production. Ports like Santos and Rio de Janeiro are assessing ammonia’s feasibility as a future bunkering fuel. The government has launched several clean energy programs, and leading shipbuilders are evaluating dual-fuel retrofits in partnership with European technology providers. Despite this momentum, Brazil faces regulatory delays, infrastructure challenges, and funding limitations that impede rapid adoption. Long-term prospects are strong, especially if regional maritime corridors adopt stricter decarbonization mandates. Brazil’s export-oriented economy and shipping infrastructure provide an ideal foundation for scaled-up deployment.
