Green ammonia as a decentralized, cross-sector energy vector for the German energy transition – AmmonVektor The industrial demand for electricity and process heat, for example in Germany as an industrial location, is immense and cannot be met without imports of sustainably produced energy sources. One such energy source of the future is hydrogen. However, its transportation over long distances, under high pressure or cryogenically liquefied, is very costly compared to the transportation of oil and is not yet feasible due to the lack of suitable ships. Solutions to these logistical challenges are being developed as part of AmmonVektor.
