The green hydrogen economy: a summary?
…ammonia, then ship the ammonia to Europe or Japan. Its guidance implies hydrogen could be imported at $10/kg while earning a 10% IRR. But we needed to assume several cost…
Combustion fuels: density, ignition temperature and flame speed?
…start up ammonia burners. Clean methanol is suggested as a better blending alternative to ammonia, as it has a flash point closer to 10ºC and a flame speed similar to…
Global hydrogen: market breakdown?
This data-file is a breakdown of the global hydrogen market, which is 110MTpa today, worth around $110bn pa at $1/kg H2 prices. Today’s hydrogen is mostly used for producing ammonia,…
Absorption chillers: the economics?
…another variant uses ammonia as the refrigerant and water as the absorbent. One advantage is that ammonia’s boiling point at 1 atm of pressure is -33ºC, hence these systems can…
US natural gas: blue hydrogen tightens global LNG markets?
…than 1 kg/kg (90% below grey hydrogen) and in turn, the hydrogen can be used to produce blue ammonia, blue steel, blue chemicals and as a low carbon fuel in…
Hydrogen: lost in transportation?
…hydrogen pipelines and chemical hydrogen carriers (e.g., ammonia). Midstream costs will be 2-10x higher than comparable gas value chains, while up to 50% of hydrogen’s embedded energy may be lost…
Energy transition: investment strategies?
…patents (see below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/tse-patent-assessments-a-summary/ (7) New market risk. This risk premium compensates investors for immature markets. For example, if you produce clean ammonia, then you can sell it into existing…
Cryogenic air separation: costs and energy economics?
This data-file calculates the costs of cryogenic air separation units, which are important in the production of industrial gases, ammonia, metals, materials, medical applications and new energy technologies such as…
Global hydrogen supply-demand: by region, by use & over time?
Global production of hydrogen is around 110MTpa in 2023, of which c30% is for ammonia, 25% is for refining, c20% for methanol and c25% for other metals and materials. This…
Hydrogen reformers: SMR versus ATR?
…different merits and challenges. ATR looks excellent for clean ammonia. While the IRA creates CCS upside for today’s SMR incumbents, across industrial gases, refining and chemicals. $599.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to…
