 A green ammonia plant typically needs the following equipment and facilities: 

Pressure swing adsorption system: Extracts nitrogen from the air 

Modular electrolyzer: Splits hydrogen from water 

Synthesis loop: Combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia

Thermal management system: Part of the synthesis loop 

Compressor: Pressurizes the synthesis loop 

Reactor: Converts hydrogen and nitrogen gas into ammonia 

Heat exchanger: Heats the inlet stream of the reactor 

Separation system: Extracts ammonia from the process 

Recycle and purge streams: Recover unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen gas 

Green ammonia is made from local resources using renewable energy sources, which reduces the exposure to fossil fuel price volatility. It can be used as a carbon-free flexible asset for grid services and long-term energy storage.
