Toward a sustainable energy future using ammonia as an energy carrier: global supply chain cost and greenhouse gas emissions
Woo Jae Shin, Haoxiang Lai, Gasim Ibrahim, Guiyan Zang
Abstract
A harmonized global ammonia supply chain database across 63 countries was developed, quantifying the levelized cost of ammonia and life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for diverse production (gray, blue, yellow, pink, and green) and logistics.
