Clean ammonia import in Europe is expected to increase over the next few years to satisfy the fertilizer market needs and the potential demand as fuel and energy carrier.
Infrastructures will have to be built to allow the import and distribution of clean ammonia, in particular the storage system will always be required as a buffer to stabilize operation.
However, large capacity storage located in populated areas shall address safety and public perception constraints as well as the limited availability of land and high construction costs.
The use of GBS may be a suitable alternative to the conventional onshore installations. The present paper compares the two options highlighting main key performance indicators.
