Hydrogen and ammonia ofer opportunities to provide low carbon energy and help reach the target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Ammonia, a molecule that is gaining more interest as a fueling vector, has been considered as a candidate to power transport, produce energy, and support heating applications for decades. However, the particular characteristics of the molecule always made it a chemical with low, if any, benefit once compared to conventional fossil fuels.
Ammonia is of interest in energy storage, as a zero-carbon fuel and as a hydrogen carrier [54]. A key benefit is its established infrastructure for production, storage, and distribution.
Diagram of ammonia-hydrogen-electricity cogeneration system. In this simulation, the heat source power is set at 250 MW, which results in the production of 538 kmol/h of NH 3. In addition, the system generates 65 MW of electricity. The energy consumption of equipment for each process section is shown in Table 8.
Ammonia has a number of favorable attributes, the primary one being its high capacity for hydrogen storage, 17.6 wt.%, based on its molecular structure. However, in order to release hydrogen from ammonia, significant energy input as well as reactor mass and volume are required.
Hydrogen offers high efficiency and zero emissions, ammonia provides practical storage and transport options, and biofuels offer a renewable and immediately applicable solution. The choice between these fuels will depend on various factors, including environmental impact, infrastructure requirements and technological advancements.
A comparative analysis between ammonia and transportation for hydrogen is conducted to assess cost efficiencies. To improve the system efficiency, a supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle is applied as the power generation cycle. This choice exhibits superior parameter compatibility with the system compared to the Rankine cycle.
