Almost all of the ammonia India uses goes into fertilisers that support its farmers and food security. With low-cost renewable energy and clear policy direction through the National Green Hydrogen Mission, India can produce more of this ammonia at home. Scaling green ammonia would strengthen energy and food security while cutting industrial emissions.
The challenge
To understand where civil society could add most value, a clear picture was needed of who makes up India’s green ammonia ecosystem, what work is already underway, and where more support could help. It was also important to understand where civil society and industry share a view and where their perspectives differ.
Our approach
Climate Catalyst has previously mapped the civil society ecosystem around chemical decarbonisation in Europe. In January 2026, the India team began similar work on green ammonia as the first phase of our consult, convene and catalyse model.
We mapped more than 100 organisations across government, industry, research, philanthropy and civil society. We then interviewed and surveyed 57 stakeholders, including 26 civil society organisations and funders, and 31 industry representatives. Their responses showed how industry and civil society see the opportunities for green ammonia and what it will take to scale. The industry mapping and surveys were carried out with the support of FTI Consulting, which also runs the secretariat of the India Hydrogen Alliance.
An in-person convening in Bengaluru then brought 29 organisations together to discuss these insights and begin shaping a shared vision for green ammonia adoption in India.
