Impact of process flexibility and imperfect forecasting on the operation and design of Haber–Bosch green ammonia
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 literature that the limited flexibility of the Haber–Bosch process required for ammonia synthesis increases its production cost. We assess the truth of this claim using […]

Prospects and challenges of green ammonia synthesis
Abstract Ammonia is a chemical commodity in high demand, owing to its use in agriculture as well as its potential as a chemical vector for renewable energy storage and transportation. At present, ammonia synthesis consumes 1–2% of the world’s total energy output while producing 1% of the world’s total carbon emissions. Thus, the development of […]
