Converting sunlight into industrial green ammonia
Difficult to decarbonise, heavy industry including steel, cement and petrochemicals poses a challenge to carbon neutrality. To address this, the CICERONE global project aims to build a cross-border green hydrogen and ammonia value chain, linking the abundant renewable resources of southern European countries with industrial plants in Germany and the Netherlands. Its feasibility study is examining the potential for a 120-megawatt solar plant in Spain that will convert energy from sunlight into ammonia ready for industrial use.
