One proposed solution is hydrogen, particularly in the form of ammonia. The work describes the production of ammonia through various methods, including indirect or direct electrolysis, and its potential for energy storage and use. It also discusses the advantages and challenges of using ammonia in energy storage and power generation.
f the future. It compares all types of currently available energy storage techniques and shows that ammonia and hydrogen are the two most promising solutions that, apart from serving the objective of long-term storage in a low-carbon economy, could also be generated through a carbon
Fig. 2: Ammonia as an energy carrier in energy storage and conversion. Ammonia (NH 3) is emerging as a key contributor to the decarbonization of energy systems, from renewable energy-driven synthesis and scalable storage solutions to its use in combustion, fuel cells and catalytic hydrogen (H 2) extraction.
and regions.This paper analyses the role of ammonia in energy systems and briefly discusses the conditions under which it provides an efficient decarbonized energy storage solution to preserve large volumes of energy, for a long period of time and in a trans ortable form. The outline of this paper
