The hydrogen strategy relies partly on imports of hydrogen produced from places like North Africa, the Arabic Peninsula and Ukraine. Globally, 50% of all hydrogen is today produced by the fertiliser industry who uses it to produce ammonia, the main building block for all other nitrogen fertilisers. Ammonia, though a different molecule, has 50 % more hydrogen than hydrogen itself. Questions included:Can ammonia fill the role as storage and transportation carrier of renewable hydrogen? Can fertiliser producers mix renewable hydrogen with fossil-based hydrogen in a transition towards net-zero?
