Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition towards sustainable energy systems has underscored the critical importance of green hydrogen and green ammonia as key enablers of decarbonization. These energy carriers offer promising pathways for storing and transporting renewable energy; facilitating the integration of variable renewable sources, such as wind and solar; and supporting deep decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors including industry, shipping, and heavy-duty transport. The rapid development of technologies enabling the production, storage, distribution, and utilization of green hydrogen and ammonia is driving innovations pertaining to system integration, process modeling, advanced control, equipment design, and operational safety. Consequently, this Special Issue seeks to gather together high-quality research and review articles that address recent advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of green hydrogen and green ammonia. The aim is to promote interdisciplinary research spanning theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches that improve the efficiency, reliability, scalability, and safety of hydrogen and ammonia production and utilization systems. Areas of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Integrated scheduling and operation of electricity–hydrogen–ammonia systems;
- CFD modeling and simulation of key equipment such as electrolyzers and ammonia synthesis reactors;
- Process simulation, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assessment of green hydrogen/ammonia systems;
- Dynamic modeling, real-time optimization, and advanced control strategies;
- Safety monitoring, risk assessment, fault diagnosis, and early warning systems;
- Design, development, and prototyping of novel materials and components for electrolysis and catalytic synthesis;
- Hybrid renewable energy systems for hydrogen/ammonia production;
- Power-to-ammonia and power-to-gas integration with existing infrastructures;
- Applications of hydrogen and ammonia in energy storage, transportation, and industrial decarbonization;
- Standards, regulations, and policy support mechanisms for green hydrogen and ammonia economies.
