Humans extract nearly 100 million barrels of oil daily, plus equivalent coal and natural gas. The IPCC mandates halving this fossil fuel flow by 2030 and eliminating it by 2050 to avert irreversible climate damage. This energy transition demands scalable, zero-carbon solutions.

Green ammonia offers a promising path. This carbon-free fuel is made simply from air, water, and renewable electricity. With billions in announced investments, led by the Middle East and Australia, green ammonia is rapidly emerging as a "new 21st-century oil," poised to transform our world.

Zac Cesaro, an R&D engineer at Siemens Energy and Oxford DPhil candidate, is an expert in green ammonia production and use, having operated the world’s first demonstrator. This talk was given at a TEDx event.
