As the need for clean and sustainable energy sources grows rapidly, green hydrogen and ammonia have become promising sources of low-carbon energy and important key players in the transition to green energy. However, production and storage problems make it hard to use them widely. The goal of this review paper is to give a complete overview of the latest technology for the manufacture and storage of hydrogen and ammonia. This paper deals with hydrogen and ammonia synthesis and storage. It examines the most recent technological breakthroughs in areas such as electrolysis, reforming, C-ZEROS, HYSATA, DAE, sulfide, and SRBW, as well as novel storage techniques, such as solid-state storage, plasma kinetics, and POWERPASTE. This article examines the history of ammonia production and discusses some of the newer and more sustainable techniques for producing ammonia, such as electrochemical and biological approaches. This study also looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) and additive manufacturing (AM) could be used to revolutionize the way green hydrogen and ammonia are produced, with an emphasis on recent breakthroughs in AI-assisted catalyst design and 3D-printed reactors, as well as considering major investments in the shift to green energy, such as Moroccan government programs, and how they may affect future hydrogen and ammonia production.

“…It was found that either capital cost reductions or an increase in carbon tax is required for the low carbon processes to be cost-competitive. A variety of techno-economic assessments of non-fossil-based ammonia production have been published, focussing for example on green ammonia production from unspecified renewable energy in Chile, 17 offshore wind in the US, 18 wind and solar in Chile, Denmark and Australia 19 and Iran, 20 and integrated biomass gasification. 21 Tunå et al 22 compared ammonia production from water electrolysis using renewable energy, steam reforming of biogas from anaerobic digesters, and biomass gasification, finding the latter to perform best economically, but none of the processes to be competitive with conventional ammonia production.…”

“…The estimated total hydrogen production potential in Turkey ranges from 415.48 to 427.22 million tons (Mt), contingent on the electrolyser type. Kakavand et al 11 offers a comprehensive evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility of producing green hydrogen and ammonia using wind and solar energy resources across multiple locations in Iran. The large-scale hydrogen production facilities with PEM electrolyzers are modeled for these locations using the HOMER Pro simulation platform.…”

The global pivot towards sustainable energy solutions necessitates a closer examination of green hydrogen production using renewable energy sources. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and efficiency of green hydrogen production on an industrial scale using solar and wind energy in Diyala city, Iraq. Experimental weather data, including solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and wind speed, were meticulously collected throughout 2022. The analysis indicated that, for wind energy, the optimum electrolyser capacity that matched a 1.5 MW wind turbine achieved a hydrogen production of 11,963 kg/year, with associated costs of $8.87/kg. In contrast, when focusing on solar energy, the ideal electrolyser capacity harmonizing with a 2 MW solar photovoltaic generated a notably higher hydrogen output of 94,432 kg/year at a more competitive cost of $6.33/kg. These findings underscore the potential economic advantages of solar-based green hydrogen production over wind-based methods in Diyala city. Furthermore, the significant difference in hydrogen production yields between the two methods emphasizes the need to optimize renewable infrastructure based on location-specific renewable resources. This study offers valuable insights into tailoring green hydrogen production strategies in regions with similar climatic conditions to Diyala and serves as a blueprint for future renewable energy-driven hydrogen production initiatives.
