Abstract
The rising demand for sustainable energy solutions has intensified interest in green ammonia as a promising energy carrier. Produced using renewable energy sources, green ammonia offers a viable alternative for industrial and energy applications due to its efficient transportability via pipelines. This review examines the integration of green ammonia pipelines with renewable energy systems, focusing on production technologies, transportation logistics, economic feasibility, and environmental advantages. It also underscores the pivotal role of policy and regulatory frameworks in ensuring successful implementation and widespread adoption.
