UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Ricardo-AEA Limited for a full life cycle assessment (ISO 14040:2006 and 14044:2006) of ammonia as a bulk energy storage medium.

The study covers two systems: an inter-day grid-scale ammonia-based energy storage system using Haber-Bosch synthesis and gas turbines, and an inter-day distribution-scale system using solid-state synthesis and fuel cells.

The assessment includes the entire life cycle—from production of synthesis equipment, storage facilities, and electricity generation equipment to operation and decommissioning—and compares these systems with appropriate comparators.

The contract value is AUD 14,881.
