minus-squareCrimeDadAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down2·1 year agoI’m becoming less of a hydrogen guy and more of an ammonia guy. Liquid ammonia seems easier to deal with than hydrogen gas.
minus-squareMaggiWuerze@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·1 year agoIt is, but a leak could kill you. So 🤷♂️
minus-squareCrimeDadAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoYeah that’s a problem. However, it might make more sense on balance if we have big nuclear power plants generating clean ammonia while off peak electric demand.
minus-squarefruitycoder@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWhy not clean hydrogen? Just the handling issues?
minus-squareRailison@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoAmmonia is wayyyyyyyy easier to store and contains more hydrogen. Pity about the environmental and health dangers
minus-squareNommer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoSame could be said for hydrogen since it’s a tiny bit flammable.
minus-squareMaggiWuerze@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoYeah, but ammonia chemically burns the eyes, lungs and skin of everyone that comes into contact with the resulting gas in a wide radius.
