Leveraging the Ammonia Industry for Solar Energy Storage
Integrating energy storage with energy production is the key to a zero-emission energy system future. Energy storage can be built into a concentrating solar power (CSP) system, without
As an energy storage medium, liquid ammonia (NH) actually packs in more hydrogen than liquid hydrogen (H) per same volume and the ammonia infrastructure is quite mature in China current industries. Therefore, in order to make it economically viable, motivative policies on encouraging the development of solar-based ammonia are expected in China.
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.
The total energy consumption of solar-based ammonia is 9.313 kWh/Nm 33, so the corresponding solar-power-life-cycle GHG emission will be 419.83 g CO 2 -eq./Nm 3 NH The ammonia capacity and output from 2013 to 2019 in China are shown in .
pment (ibid).Another alternative approach to the direct combustion of ammonia is to utilize it as the energy vector of hydrogen, where ammonia could be viewed as its storable source, while the direct storage and transportation of hydrogen in large quantities is still challenging and expensive (Valera-Medina,
