Ammonia is future of hydrogen – Topsoe
Chemical will come to be the dominant energy carrier for the hydrogen industry, CEO of solid-oxide electrolyser manufacturer tells Hydrogen Economist
Ammonia will be the dominant carrier of molecules in the green hydrogen market of the future, according to Roeland Baan, CEO of solid-oxide electrolyser (SOEC) manufacturer Topsoe. Green hydrogen can be delivered as a compressed gas, in liquid form, attached to a liquid organic hydrogen carrier molecule, as methanol or as ammonia. Baan believes the last of these will come to represent the greatest share of the market. “We see the green hydrogen market as a green ammonia market,” he tells Hydrogen Economist. “The flexibility of ammonia will make it the main carrier.” Baan cites the desire of Japanese and South Korean firms to import ammonia to direct fire thermal power plants as a major drive
