The Bottom Line for Ammonia-Based Power Generation

The end-to-end efficiency of all this will be an astonishingly poor 20%. No economy can be internationally competitive based on the resulting power prices. 100% ammonia-fired power in Japan would cost around $260 per megawatt-hour in 2030 and $200 by 2050. That is around double the cost at which renewable energy could be generated in and around Japan.
