Ammonia to Green Hydrogen

Ammonia to Green Hydrogen

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.
