Renewable Ammonia for Global Energy Transition

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: As the global energy transition takes shape, ammonia has emerged as an up‐and‐coming zero‐carbon solution for the global hydrogen economy. This article highlights the favorable properties of ammonia that makes it a reliable and economic work horse ‐ overcoming many technological hurdles that still exist for hydrogen. The future role of ammonia as renewable fuel for shipping, heavy‐duty land‐based transport, power generation, and status of technology is highlighted. Finally, market projections and cost competitiveness are discussed for ammonia as an export vector for global hydrogen.
