Reviewing the progress toward an ammonia energy storage ecosystem

Abstract

The work discusses the irregularity and intermittency of solar and wind electricity generation due to factors like sunlight and wind variations. It emphasizes the need for energy storage solutions to address these challenges. 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. Finally, the work mentions the potential of direct ammonia fuel cells and ammonia combustion for power generation, highlighting their advantages and challenges. Overall, the work provides a detailed overview of using ammonia as an energy storage and power generation solution, with a focus on its sustainability and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
