Alternative Fuels: Ammonia
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier to support industrial decarbonisation.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Government continues to review the range of potential hydrogen carriers and their role in supporting the long-distance transport and trade of hydrogen, including its contribution to industrial decarbonisation. These potential options include ammonia, methanol, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), and liquid hydrogen. Our ongoing assessment highlights the need for further research, demonstration and learning from deployment in order to optimise these carrier options, whilst ensuring environmental and safety concerns have been fully considered and mitigated.
