In Chile, the ammonia fuelled ships market is gaining traction due to the country's strong commitment to renewable energy and decarbonization of maritime logistics. With Chile emerging as a potential hub for green hydrogen and ammonia production, especially in the Magallanes region, the maritime sector is exploring alternative fuels to reduce emissions across its extensive Pacific coastline. The government’s push for sustainable ports and alignment with international maritime decarbonization goals are key drivers. However, high infrastructure costs for ammonia bunkering facilities and limited domestic ship retrofitting capabilities act as restraints. Still, opportunities are mounting with several pilot projects being proposed in conjunction with renewable ammonia producers. The trend toward international collaboration, particularly with European shipping firms looking for clean fuel sources, is reinforcing Chile's role in future green corridors. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 12.5% from 2025 to 2035, supported by rising environmental regulations and public-private investments.
