When generation flags and local storage looks likely to be depleted, utilities will order a shipment of ammonia from any of numerous solar farms in the tropics.

Most of the time a utility will prefer cheaper local generation, local storage, or transmission-line power before spending on shipped-in synthetic fuel.



I have friends who work in industrial refrigeration, and I have to say, transporting ships full of ammonia around the world is a horrific idea.
