Hybrid LNG & Ammonia Infrastructure: Key to a Green Economy

A gas at room temperature, ammonia is incredibly stable and can be easily liquified for storage and shipment around the globe in the same fashion as liquefied natural gas (LNG). It can be used across energy-intensive industries in several ways, helping to lower our carbon footprint.

 

● Made up of one nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms, ammonia can also be decomposed or “cracked” to produce hydrogen along with nitrogen, a non-toxic, nongreenhouse gas.

● Ammonia produced from renewable energy (“green ammonia”) can serve as an energy storage medium, able to store electricity during high periods of production and transport that energy to parts of the globe with limited access to renewable energy sources.

● Ammonia can be burned directly as a carbon emissions-free energy source, thanks to the development of new technologies that produce ammonia from renewable energy or reforming of methane with CO2 capture. Ammonia can also offer new possibilities when it comes to facilitating the use of hydrogen, which is emerging as a low-carbon breakthrough that promises to transform the power generation market. Ammonia-ready storage and transportation infrastructure will be a catalyst for making ammonia a key player in the zero-carbon energy landscape
