Abstract The global potential for renewable energy production far exceeds global energy demand. However, the accessibility of renewable energy is constrained by existing land use, the need to preserve protected […]

Abstract Decarbonising ammonia production is an environmental imperative given that it independently accounts for 1.8% of global carbon dioxide emissions and supports the feeding of over 48% of the global […]

Abstract Green ammonia is a promising energy storage vector which can provide back-up power when variable renewable energy sources (VREs) are not generating. However, it is generally agreed in the […]

Abstract Green ammonia is a promising derivative of hydrogen with the capability to decarbonise the fertiliser and maritime industries, and to supplement clean energy supply in nations where renewable energy […]

Abstract Green hydrogen is considered a highly promising vector for deep decarbonisation of energy systems and is forecast to represent 20% of global energy use by 2050. In order to […]

Abstract Green ammonia is a promising hydrogen derivative which enables intercontinental transport of dispatchable renewable energy. This research describes the development of a model which optimizes a global green ammonia […]

Abstract Green hydrogen and ammonia are critical technologies in our decarbonisation toolkit, but at present remain more expensive than traditional energy vectors. In order to increase their competitiveness with respect […]

Abstract Green hydrogen is considered a highly promising vector for deep decarbonisation of energy systems and is forecast to represent 20% of global energy use by 2050. In order to […]

Abstract Green ammonia, synthesized from air, water, and renewable energy, is a carbon-free energy storage vector with numerous potential energy applications, including dispatchable green electricity for the power sector. Due […]

Abstract Decarbonisation will see mass installation of wind turbines and solar panels to replace conventional energy systems. However, these renewables face two challenges: renewable energy production is intermittent, and land […]
