“…This fact indicates the necessity to consider renewable energy sources as an alternative electricity power supply system and hydrogen production source. In essence, numerous researchers have conducted detailed studies on the electricity generation via solar and wind energy, as well as hydropower energy [13,[17][18][19][20]. Case studies on ammonia production via alternative energy sources will be presented below.…”

In a time of increasing concerns about the immense energy consumption and poor environmental performance of contemporary processes in the chemical industry, there is great need to develop novel sustainable technologies that enhance energy efficiency. There is abundant chemical literature on process innovations (laboratory-scale) around the plasma reactor itself, which, naturally, is the essential part to be intensified to achieve a satisfactory process. In essence, a plasma process needs attention beyond reaction engineering towards the process integration side and also with strong electrical engineering focus. In this mini-review, we have detailed our future focus on the process and energy intensification of plasma-based N-fixation. Three focal points are mainly stressed throughout the review: (I) the integration of renewable energy; (II) the power supply system of plasma reactors and (III) process design of industrial plasma-assisted nitrogen fixation. These different enabling strategies will be set in a holistic and synergetic picture so as to improve process performance.

“…Anhydrous ammonia would be stored in liquid form aboard the OTEC platform and periodically transported ashore by barge. It has been shown (Dugger and Francis, 1977) that such a chemical storage/transmission system could be more economical than the transmission of electricity in submarine cables fron an OTEC plant. It could also be more economical than shipping the hydrogen either in gaseous or liquid form.…”

“…The principal contenders in the latter category are aluminum smelting and hydrogen or ammonia production (Konopka et al 1976;Dugger and Francis 1977;TWR Systems and Energy 1976;Cohen and Tschupp 1978). Since air, water, and energy are readily available at an OTEC power plant, such a facility would be self-sufficient for the synthesis of ammonia.…”

“…Hydrogen generated by electrolysis of water on board is generally considered only as an intermediate product used for NH 3 manufacture. Anhydrous ammonia would be stored in liquid form aboard the OTEC platform and periodically transported as~ore by barge (Dugger and Francis 1977;Dugger, Francis and Avery 1978;Talib et al 1979). It has been shown that such a chemical storage/transmission system could be more economical than the transmission of electricity in submarine cables from an OTEC plant (Konopka et al 1976;Biederman et al 1978;Konopka et al 1977).…”
