The levelized cost of green ammonia (LCOA) can vary depending on the production method, the cost of electricity, and other factors:
Production method: The power-to-ammonia concept can have a lower LCOA than the biomass-to-ammonia concept.
Cost of electricity: The price of electricity is a key factor in green ammonia investment.
Other factors: The operating rate, ammonia price, and the electrical efficiency of electrolyzers are also important factors.
Here are some estimates for the LCOA of green ammonia:
$700 per ton
This is the levelized cost of green ammonia assumed in a study on the economic feasibility of using green ammonia in India's fertilizer sector.
$820 per ton
This is the estimated LCOA of green ammonia in a study that evaluated the potential of local green ammonia production.
$394.01 per ton
This is the LCOA of green ammonia in a study that compared power-to-ammonia and biomass-to-ammonia concepts.
Less than $400 per ton
This is the LCOA of green ammonia that could be available in many locations by 2040, according to a techno-economic analysis.
Green ammonia is currently more expensive to produce than traditional ammonia, which is made from natural gas or coal. However, green ammonia could be a promising low-cost, dispatchable electricity generation option.
