Ammonia - Well-to-Wake by pathway

Ammonia well-to-wake intensity under FuelEU Maritime. Grey ammonia takes the Annex II natural-gas default, 123.95 gCO₂e/MJ, and so does blue ammonia unless certified (Art. 10(2)). Green ammonia, an RFNBO, takes E and eu from its Proof of Sustainability; without them, or above 28.2 gCO₂e/MJ, Art. 10(1)(b) counts it as grey.

TTW CO2 (t)=mass⋅Cf\text{TTW CO}_2 \text{ (t)} = \text{mass} \cdot C_fEnergy (MJ)=mass (kg)⋅LCV (MJ/kg)\text{Energy (MJ)} = \text{mass (kg)} \cdot \text{LCV (MJ/kg)}WtW (t CO2e)=Energy (MJ)⋅WtW factor (g/MJ)106\text{WtW (t CO}_2 \text{e)} = \frac{\text{Energy (MJ)} \cdot \text{WtW factor (g/MJ)}}{10^6}

WtW factors include upstream extraction, processing, transport, plus tank-to-wake combustion and relevant CH₄/N₂O. FuelEU Maritime Annex II publishes the authoritative defaults.

In short

Well-to-wake GHG intensity of ammonia as marine fuel, by hydrogen-source pathway.
