It’s another great way to increase the energy mix. South Australia will be going there soon along with wind solar and batteries. Hopefully it stays green and all hurdles are overcome.

I missed two important downsides:
- Ammonia doesn't combust easily with air, you need a more flammable fuel additionally or another kind of trick.
- Potentially high N2O-emissions from ammonia-combustion, which is a very powerful greenhouse gas.
High effort for exhaust after-treatment.

You are right. Burning NH3 ist lunatic and stupid.
One need 12 KWh/kg to produce NH3. But if you burn it, you will get lousy 5,1 KWh/kg. Where is the benefit?

@@wilfriedschuler3796 But that's a problem, that you will have with every e-fuel in a similar scale, not just with ammonia.
We will need e-fuels for some applications, if we want to get rid of fossil fuels.
Perhaps green ammonia will be one of them.
But I suppose, methanol could play a more important role, despite the need of CO2-capture.

Green ammonia needs 12KWh/kg process energie.Only for the 179 g /kg hydrogen it contains you need 9 KWh + 3 KW/Kg for the Haber Bosch. The cracking ist wasteful and takes another KWh/kg.
Ammonia consists of 18% hydrogen only. So, you importing nitrogen from Australia. Imagine a xxxl box of beer. You start drinking and 82 bottles are filled with water only.
Finaly after burning ammonia as a fuel, you need to clean the fumes of NOx and your yield are a measly 5,1 KW/kg.

Plants breath co2. No co2 no plants.

[@701983]

That's true, but completely irrelevant, since every lifeform on earth produces CO2, even plants at night.
Plants don't depend on man-made CO2-emissions.

[@701983]

And plants don't depend on such high CO2-levels like today of course.
