Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

While there is global potential to generate renewable energy at costs already competitive with fossil fuels, a means of storing and transporting this energy at a very large scale is a roadblock to large-scale investment, development and deployment. Modern H-B plants produce ammonia at an energy cost of at least 8 MWh tonne -1.

How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

For instance, just 8 percent of Indian homes had air-conditioning in 2018, but that share is. While electricity from older coal plants in India costs 2.7 cents from newer plants that have additional pollution-control equipment, the cost of solar energy has dropped to 2.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, and wind power to 3.4
