Decarbonizing Maritime Transport
Hydrogen Economy is the largest value accretive opportunity for OCI
OCI opportunities: ammonia and methanol are the only hydrogen carriers capable of decarbonizing our key sectors
Growth in hydrogen demand driven key OCI sectors¹

1.
Grey H₂: produced via fossil fuels such as natural gas. Blue H2: natural gas is split into H2 and CO2 either by Steam Methane Reforming or Auto Thermal Reforming; CO2 is captured and stored (Carbon Capture Storage or CCS). Green H₂ produced by splitting water by
electrolysis which uses power from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Biomass can also be used to produce green H2. This produces only hydrogen and oxygen, with no negative CO2 impact.
2. Optimal green refers to green ammonia produced using wind/solar energy in the Middle East
