Ammonia is evolving into a clean energy contender. On Innovate & React, Kevin Rouwenhorst and I explore the low-emission ammonia ecosystem. We discuss how over 90% of conventional ammonia CO2 emissions actually come from upstream hydrogen production, the engineering challenge of flexible renewable plants, and its future as a maritime fuel. 
What is the biggest bottleneck for scaling green ammonia?

Fixing Nitrogen for #fertiliser - #Ammonia production - is rather important. Suddenly 30% of the world's supply is blocked.

The FT comments are a rich seam of ignorance and stupidity.
Why electrolysing water is claimed to make an algal bloom seems entirely without sense.

And if water is short, and solar only works in daytime, floating panels on the water, and hydrogenerate at night.
A battery.

I have some concerns about the production of ammonia, especially if it depends on energy from fossil fuels, where they are getting their hydrogen from, and the impact of fuel leaks, but hopefully it's better than what shipping uses currently.
