From Lab to Market: Evaluating Performance Metrics for Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis versus Haber-Bosch

Ammonia (NH3) is a bulk commodity chemical known for its large production volumes and application in the global fertiliser industry, and is more recently being explored for its role as a sustainable energy vector. The industry standard ammonia production method is the century-old Haber-Bosch (HB) process, which is power by fossil fuels, and is...

Economic analysis of a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Northern Africa and the European Union: An optimization-based study towards the economic feasibility of renewable hydrogen based on a case study using currently available technologies

The European Union has set out to become carbon neutral by 2050. To reach this goal, the fossil-fuel-dominated energy system must be transformed into a low-carbon renewable-based energy system. One method proposed to reduce fossil-fuel dependence is to establish a renewable hydrogen supply chain between Africa and the European Union. This work...

Addressing The Potential of Alternative Configurations for CO2ER Supply Chains

As global climate change concerns intensify, the search for renewable-based alternatives to products and processes that rely on fossil fuels becomes ever more important. A process that has been championed is the co-electrolysis of carbon dioxide and water, under the supply of renewable energy, via high-temperature solid oxide electrolyser...
