Researchers are exploring solid-sorption technology to improve how ammonia is stored and transported. By combining ammonia with heat storage, these materials can reach energy densities around 10 MJ per liter, offering a safer alternative to liquid ammonia storage by bypassing the liquid phase entirely. Practical deployment depends on developing materials like metal-organic frameworks and graphene aerogels that can withstand over 10 years of operational cycling. This technology could support the growth of green ammonia as a carbon-free energy source for shipping and industrial power.
