From early-stage investment strategy to front-end engineering and design (FEED), HGA provides the technical expertise and project leadership needed to move your hydrogen or ammonia project forward—with greater confidence and reduced risk. Our deep roots in both the ammonia and refining industries make us a trusted partner in delivering technically sound, efficiently managed projects. Clients choose HGA for our collaborative approach, pragmatic solutions, and unwavering attention to detail.
Supporting the Net-Zero Transition
Hydrogen and ammonia are central to the future of clean energy. Both fuels emit no carbon at the point of use and can be leveraged as low- or zero-carbon energy sources across a wide range of applications—including transportation, industrial operations, power generation, and energy storage.
Why Hydrogen and Ammonia Matter:
- Hydrogen has long been used in refining, particularly for lowering sulfur content in diesel fuels. Today, it is commonly produced using steam methane reforming (SMR), a process involving natural gas.
- Ammonia plays a vital role in fertilizer production and global food security. U.S. production has increased by 46% since 2015, primarily using the SMR process with natural gas as feedstock.
- Green Hydrogen & Green Ammonia are emerging alternatives produced via electrolysis powered by renewable energy. Though they currently make up a small portion of global production (<0.04% as of 2021), interest is growing. Success in these projects requires a partner who understands both traditional processes and evolving green technologies. HGA brings that balanced expertise.

Real-World Applications & Project Experience
Heavy-Duty Transport
We are actively supporting Amogy’s efforts to unlock ammonia’s potential as a zero-carbon fuel source for commercial transport, helping advance technology that can power the global transition to net zero. Hydrogen is also gaining traction as a clean fuel for maritime and industrial sectors, particularly through the use of hydrogen fuel cells.
Power Generation
Ammonia can be blended with traditional fuels in coal-fired power plants, offering an immediate path to lower emissions within existing infrastructure.
Marine & Aviation Fuels
As interest grows in sustainable shipping and aviation, ammonia shows promise as a clean-burning marine fuel, while hydrogen is being explored as a jet fuel alternative.
Industrial & Chemical Applications
Hydrogen and ammonia are essential feedstocks in chemical manufacturing and fertilizer production. HGA recently served as the owner’s representative for the $1 billion Gulf Coast Ammonia (GCA) facility, ensuring alignment with the client’s vision, budget, and industry best practices.
