ammonia_to_green_hydrogen_3.pdf13.2MBAmmonia to Green Hydrogen Project Feasibility Study  Ammonia has been produced in very large quantities for use as a fertiliser for over 75 years. It is a primary candidate to enable a secure supply of renewable hydrogen to the full range of stationary and mobile applications in the UK thanks to its existing infrastructures, ease of storage, well-defined regulation and very good safety history. Although ammonia production, handling practices and supply chains are mature and well established, efficient processes for the recovery of hydrogen from ammonia must be developed as efficient ammonia cracking technologies which can generate pure hydrogen remain in their infancy.  This project aims to develop commercially viable cracking technologies and a commercial pathway allowing ammonia to enable the realisation of the hydrogen economy in the UK and beyond.  1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 AMMONIA TO GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECT This project will demonstrate a new ammonia cracking technology with improved compactness, flexibility, efficiency, scalability and effectiveness in producing pure hydrogen compared to state of the art technologies.  This will be achieved on a greater scale than has been achieved anywhere globally and will demonstrate how ammonia can act as profitable hydrogen carrier by enabling: • The storage of large amounts of energy generated by renewable sources at times when supply exceeds demand. • The transportation of hydrogen in the form of ammonia from distant generating sites to end users.  This will enable cost effective distribution of renewable energy nationwide from very large-scale production units linked directly to large scale generation (e.g. offshore wind). • The cost effective importation of renewable energy from regions of the world where renewable electricity generation is very low cost. This will open up international trade in renewable energy and provide the UK with previously inaccessible options for decarbonisation.    Ammonia and Hydrogen    Â
