When NH3 is burned in a furnace, there is Zero carbon emissions. That's what these people are after.



Where are they getting their source of H2?

If it's coming form electrolysis via nuclear energy then then the entire process is green. If it's coming form methane then they are still producing CO2 to make the H2 which is really not "green".

Not if they capture the industrial CO2 and then inject into carbon sequestration…

If they capture and sequester the CO2 its "Blue" Ammonia.

But most new plants are moving towards electrolysis. It's just whether or not the grid and power company can generate enough.

Hydrogen City, Texas would be able to supply the green H2 to many of these projects

quote:

The project will be powered by 60GW of behind the meter solar and wind power with additional renewable energy drawn from the ERCOT grid during periods of low prices.

"Hydrogen City is a massive, world class undertaking that will put Texas on the map as a leading green hydrogen producer. Texas has been the world leader in energy innovation for over 100 years and this project is intended to cement that leadership for the next century and beyond," says GHI's founder and CEO Brian Maxwell.

The project will be built in phases with the first phase expected to commence operations in 2026, consisting of 2GW of production and two storage caverns at the Piedras Pintas salt dome. Access to salt storage is critical to the scaling-up of green hydrogen production as it allows for maximum utilization of electrolysers and serves as a buffer between variable wind and solar production and final delivery of green hydrogen to customers. Eventually, over 50 caverns can be created at the Piedras Pintas salt dome, providing up to 6TWh of energy storage and turning the dome into a major green hydrogen storage hub, similar to the role Henry Hub plays in the natural gas market.
