Summary: In AINA, NH3 utilization in energy applications is considered via technologies and from social acceptance viewpoints. The first challenge in NH3 usage is the potentially forming greenhouse gas(N20) and NOx emissions. The second challenge is the energy efficiency of NH3 manufacturing and cracking processes as part of energy conversion systems as well as various techno-economical barriers. Third, NH3 utilization involves various social acceptance questions and prejudices.
