    I’m becoming less of a hydrogen guy and more of an ammonia guy. Liquid ammonia seems easier to deal with than hydrogen gas.

          Yeah, but ammonia chemically burns the eyes, lungs and skin of everyone that comes into contact with the resulting gas in a wide radius.

        Yeah that’s a problem. However, it might make more sense on balance if we have big nuclear power plants generating clean ammonia while off peak electric demand.

            Ammonia is wayyyyyyyy easier to store and contains more hydrogen. Pity about the environmental and health dangers

            You don’t have to store liquid ammonia under high pressure and it has a higher energy density by volume than hydrogen. Also, ammonia is already very useful beyond energy storage, such as for fertilizer. Maybe a hybrid system is the way to go, with hydrogen for smaller consumer applications and ammonia for larger industrial ones. I don’t know if there’s good way to produce ammonia directly by electrolysis yet, so the ammonia might still have to be derived from hydrogen anyway.

    What tech does this use? Is the hydrogen compressed or captured into a temporary sink?
