Remote ammonia production for the future energy demand of Belgium: Techno-economic optimization of local and remote ammonia production under uncertainty

Regions with abundantly available renewable energy are not necessarily the same as those with a high population density and high energy consumption. Therefore, renewable energy can be produced in optimal climate conditions with a remote renewable hub and transported to these population-dense regions. To establish this energy transport, ammonia provides a flexible, easy-to-handle energy carrier, which already showed a viable option for transporting energy from Australia to Japan. However, current literature rarely considers the impact of techno-economic uncertainty (variable energy consumption... Mehr ...
