Ammonia

Owing to high hydrogen density and easy of transportation and storage, ammonia is one of promising energy(hydrogen) carriers. Since many countries (Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Zealand etc.) are building facilities to export renewable energy by liquid ammonia, Ammonia is expected to restructure the energy industry in the near future

*Air Products, ACWA Power, and NEOM announced a $5 billion, 4GW green ammonia plant in Saudi Arabia, to be operational by 2025
