This project is analysing the techno-economics of the industrial use of hydrogen via ammonia for decarbonising industry in Wales. The analysis will focus on the infrastructure required to produce ammonia, its transport, storage, and handling at the Port of Cardiff together with its thermal cracking into hydrogen. In addition, the project includes the transport of hydrogen to its nal use for steel production at the CELSA Steelworks in Cardiff. The establishment of a green economy with the use of hydrogen will bring innovation and create new jobs along its supply chain and this project will also offer important potential business and job opportunities for the region.
