Green Ammonia & NH₃ as an Energy Carrier

TEA/LCA modeling for green ammonia production, electrochemical synthesis, and ammonia-to-hydrogen cracking pathways. Work focuses on boundary clarity, energy-integration behavior, and NH₃’s role as a transport and storage medium.


Scope of Work

  • Electrochemical and Haber-Bosch ammonia production TEA
  • NH₃-to-H₂ cracking systems and polishing stages
  • System boundary framing and feedstock assumptions
  • Energy-integration and heat-recovery implications
  • Carbon-intensity modeling across GWP windows

Modeling Approach

  1. Process-Level Boundary Definition Clear structure connecting nitrogen source, hydrogen pathway, conversion step, and energy supply.

  2. Energy-Intensity & Conversion Behavior Evaluating the thermal coupling between cracking, heat recovery, and downstream polishing.

  3. Scenario Structure Early-stage comparisons of renewable electricity profiles, cracking technologies, and logistics options.

  4. Storage & Transport Considerations Analytical framing for NH₃ pipelines, tanks, and distribution systems.
