HS Code for Green Ammonia as H2 Carrier (HS 2814.10)

Ammonia is emerging as the leading hydrogen carrier for long-distance transport - liquefiable at -33 degC (vs H2 at -253 degC), existing infrastructure, existing safety codes. Green ammonia (produced from renewable H2) is CBAM Annex I like grey ammonia; certification via RFNBO or equivalent commands EUR 400-700/MT premium.

Frequently asked questions

How is 'green' verified?

EU RFNBO rules require certification body (ISCC, TUV Rheinland) audits: renewable electricity via PPA + additionality (new capacity) + temporal correlation (hourly matching from 2030). Certificate accompanies the cargo and is verified at unloading terminal.
