Sustainable energy start-up Amogy and trading giant Trafigura have teamed up to identify scenarios in which ammonia cracking technology can be deployed to support the evolving hydrogen market. The findings of this research will help support industry-wide efforts to decarbonise transport and subsequently reduce carbon emissions to meet the goals of the clean energy transition. Initially, European hydrogen markets<\/a> will be the focus of this research, with the region targeting 20 million tonnes of hydrogen consumption by 2030.<\/p>\n Ammonia is an energy-dense compound and is currently traded on a global scale due to its use in agriculture. The ability to trade ammonia is therefore supported by existing transportation and storage infrastructure.<\/p>\n The compound has the potential to be a successful hydrogen carrier due to its high volumetric hydrogen density. This will enable hydrogen the economic, long-distance transportation of hydrogen. Scalable ammonia cracking technologies, the focus of this joint research, therefore, have the potential to assist Europe in its aim to lower emissions carbon emissions from industry and the transport sector.<\/p>\nAmmonia\u2019s potential as a hydrogen carrier<\/h3>\n
