Tremendously cheap and green ammonia. - Upgraded.
Tremendously cheap and green ammonia can change a game - Upgraded. David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired. judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbarovski@gmail.com. Abstract. Chain of improvements: (1) Re energy by UScents 0.4 /kWh, 5 years payback and breeding investments for acceleration. [1], [2].[3] (2) Reduction in size of the generators' units. Small size = "thin walls" drastically diminish ratio a cost of kWh. (3) N2 is practically free, "share of NH3 burns oxygen out of the air" vs. conventional cryogenic monster. [4]. (4) H2 can be down to USD 150 /ton. [1]. 0.5 N2 + 1.5 H2 = NH3 - 46 kJ, Haber-Bosch process. 46,000 * 0.3 (efficiency heat in electricity) * 0.03(tariffs) / 3.6 = USD 115/Mmol heat in electricity. Q(NH3) * 17 = Q(1.5 H2) = 3 * 150 - 115 = 335, so Q(NH3) = 335 / 17 = USD 20 /ton NH3 vs. now prices being USD 650 -850 /ton NH3. If + 250% for Capex, NH3 would be USD 50 / ton. Such cheap ammonia allows to synthetise...
