グリーンアンモニア(GA)は低炭素肥料の基盤として有望だが、現行のアンモニア生産は化石燃料に依存し炭素集約的である。本展望論文は、GAの環境的優位性（気候変動緩和）を示しつつ、技術的には分散型生産の柔軟性とエネルギー効率の課題、経済的にはコスト競争力不足を指摘。さらに、農家の受容など社会的側面の研究不足を強調し、政策・投資判断への示唆を提供する。
English
This perspective paper examines green ammonia (GA) as a low-carbon fertilizer, highlighting its environmental benefits in climate change mitigation. It notes technological opportunities such as decentralized production, but acknowledges economic barriers due to higher costs compared to conventional ammonia. The paper emphasizes the overlooked social dimension of farmer acceptance and calls for improved supply chains, reduced capital costs for green hydrogen, and carbon credit incentives to drive transition.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は肥料用アンモニアを輸入に依存しており、水素・アンモニアサプライチェーン構築が国家戦略となっている。本論文はグリーンアンモニアの課題（コスト・社会受容性）を整理し、日本における肥料脱炭素やGX政策の投資判断に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, green ammonia is a key vector for decarbonizing fertilizers and as a hydrogen carrier. This perspective aligns with global efforts under the IEA and IRENA for low-carbon fertilizers, and highlights social acceptance gaps that are often missing in techno-economic studies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Ammonia, as a nitrogen-based fertilizer is essential for enhancing crop yields and supporting global food production. Established ammonia production relies on fossil fuels and is highly carbon-intensive with detrimental consequences for the environment and society. The significance of the decarbonization of fertilizer production cannot be overstated. In this perspective, the opportunities and challenges associated with green ammonia (GA) deployment are discussed, drawing on insights from recent literature. While environmental and techno-economic aspects of GA are increasingly well understood, social dimensions such as farmer acceptance and adoption remain largely overlooked. From an environmental perspective, we argue that GA significantly mitigates climate change impacts compared with current ammonia production. From a technological perspective, decentralized production systems, though more energy intensive, offer flexibility and reduced raw material requirements. However, economic barriers persist, as GA is less cost-effective than standard ammonia. Therefore, enhancing the sustainability of GA production relies on improving the technological and supply chain aspects, reducing capital costs for green hydrogen infrastructure, and incentivizing the fertilizer industry with carbon credits. By highlighting these critical considerations, this perspective aims to inform research, policy and investment decisions for a sustainable transition to green ammonia.
