- Observaciones: Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering or Department of Chemical Engineering: The ‘hydrogen economy’ is vital to achieve the net-zero emissions targets by 2050, as indicated in national hydrogen strategies released last year. Currently, Canada is a top ten global H2 producer, but its production is mainly via steam methane reforming with significant carbon emissions. In this project, we aim to study the renewable and low carbon ammonia conversion to use ammonia as a hydrogen carrier for energy storage and sector decarbonization. Liquid ammonia is a hydrogen carrier and energy vector, which allows low carbon energy production and conversion, energy storage, transmission and distribution and utilization at desired applications. It has the advantages of a high H2 density (~50% more per liter than liquid H2 and 2.1 times more than compressed H2 at 700 bar) and mature infrastructure for distribution. When used, ammonia can be decomposed on catalysts to produce H2 with nitrogen (N2), a non-toxic GHG. Ammonia offers a competitive solution to hydrogen storage and distribution in long distances and across the ocean. Apart from being an energy carrier, ammonia is also a feedstock for fertilizer production. Therefore, it is important to balance the ammonia use for energy storage and fertilizer production in a sustainable economy. This project will optimize the renewable and low carbon ammonia conversion process. Use Ontario as a case study, we will evaluate the potential capability in the province and optimize the distribution and use for energy storage and fertilizer production in Ontario.
