How can green ammonia help decarbonise shipping? The World Economic Forum takes a look at how the Renewable Dynamic Distributed Ammonia Plant links to wind and solar energy and can operate without the need for a battery or hydrogen storage, bringing down the cost of green ammonia and making it easier to integrate with energy systems. #transportemissions #netzero https://lnkd.in/gmANQXda
Green ammonia is essential in accelerating the switch to clean #energy and in #decarbonizing heavy transport. This new plant in Denmark, developed by Skovgaard Energy, Topsoe and Vestas, is one of the 60 near-zero emission plants needed by 2030, according to Mission Possible Partnership. It shows how to scale up production, and the potential for industrial clusters. The World Economic Forum’s Transitioning Industrial Clusters initiative works to improve cooperation between co-located companies and governments to drive economic growth, employment and the energy transition.
