We estimate that 800 MW of PV paired with 100 MW of CSP and 12 hours of thermal storage would allow us to produce more than 257,000 tons of green ammonia a year at a cost of under $400 a ton... read more to find out how.
Green hydrogen is still more expensive than carbon-intensive alternatives. One way of minimizing costs is to run electrolyzers 24/7. Concentrated solar power is a strong contender to ensure 100% utilization.
