"Batteries great for portable devices, and with Gigafactories on the rise, a key part of our energy future - but it doesn't get us far enough in terms of the sheer amount of transport, grid storage, etc."
We need the Hydrogen Economy to step in" #OxLum

"Industrial revolution needed coal, and the green revolution will need its own energy source. Hydrogen is a zero-carbon fuel, but so is ammonia" #OxLum
"Ammonia is the elephant in the room - huge potential but little discussed" #OxLum
"We can transform using ammonia with low levels of disruption, largely because large amount infrastructure already exist for, e.g. fertilisers)" #OxLum
"Total ammonia represents 7,000 TWh per year" #OxLum
"Cost is similar to offshore wind" #OxLum
"Safety: we have the skills to transport and store ammonia at 10,000 tons plus. Ammonia is safer than hydrogen at all scales - but this needs to be proved." #OxLum
"Hybrid transportation: High temperature, high efficient ammonia fuel cells coupled with battery packs. This could be a game-changer in terms of a transformative energy solution for transportation that overcomes battery limitations". #OxLum
