However, the efficiency of the process of storing and transporting liquefied hydrogen at ultra-low temperatures to where it will be used is still a problem. Because ammonia is a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen, it can be used as a fuel to produce electrical energy if hydrogen is extracted through a separate process.

Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule.
