Techno-economic viability of islanded green ammonia as a carbon-free energy vector and as a substitute for conventional production
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 population. The recent decline of production costs and its potential as an energy vector warrant investigation of whether green ammonia production is commercially competitive. Considering […]

Renewable electron-driven bioinorganic nitrogen fixation: a superior route toward green ammonia?
Abstract Ammonia is crucial for the fertilizer industry and the global chemical economy. However, the conventional Haber–Bosch process for NH3 synthesis is energy and capital-intensive and associated with high greenhouse gas emissions (1.44% of global CO2 emissions). Thus, green ammonia synthesis that supports the green energy transition and sustainable development has become a research hotspot. Among others, […]

Impact of grid connectivity on cost and location of green ammonia production: Australia as a case study
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 potential cannot satisfy demand. However, green ammonia production requires significant hydrogen and electricity storage infrastructure in order to convert variable renewable energy supply into a […]
