Spain’s ammonia fuelled ships market is still in its early stages but shows promising potential due to the country’s focus on green hydrogen as part of its National Energy and Climate Plan. With extensive coastal trade and port infrastructure, Spain is well-positioned to develop ammonia bunkering networks, especially in ports like Valencia and Barcelona. Market growth is driven by EU-backed funding for maritime decarbonization and collaborations between Spanish energy firms and maritime stakeholders. However, the lack of technical know-how in ammonia propulsion systems and slow policy implementation remain challenges. The country’s proximity to North African regions with high solar potential also opens up opportunities for importing competitively priced green ammonia. Trends indicate that shipping firms operating in the Mediterranean are exploring ammonia as part of multi-fuel transition strategies. The market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 11.5%, with acceleration expected after 2026 as supportive infrastructure and regulation begin to materialize.
