Green Ammonia Applications
Use as hydrogen carrier
o Green Ammonia could play a significant role as a hydrogen carrier, assuming ammonia cracking (to decompose ammonia back to hydrogen and nitrogen) will become economically viable in the coming future. Large-scale application of ammonia cracking would enable using green ammonia as a carrier of green hydrogen over large distances.
o For ammonia, the logistics will be more economical and technically less challenging than transporting hydrogen itself over a long distance. After cracking ammonia, the green hydrogen released from the decomposed ammonia would be available as a fuel for various applications.
o Hydrogen can be used for storing large amounts of energy over days, weeks, or even months. Hence, it can be used to transport renewable energy from one region to another.
o It can be an option to decarbonize sectors where few alternative mitigation solutions exist, such as long-distance transport (air travel/ shipping), iron and steel production.
