Finnish scientists believe that hybrid wind-solar power plants could make green ammonia cost competitive in niche markets by 2030. They say,

Ammonia could be worth between €345 and €420 per tonne in 2030, compared to €440 to €630 per tonne today. The current price of ammonia produced from fossil fuels is between €300 and €350 per tonne.

Ammonia is used 80% in agriculture, to generate ammonium nitrate fertilisers, which release nitrogen. It is a basic nutrient for the growth of plants, crops and lawns. The production of green ammonia from semi-flexible plants powered by hybrid PV-wind power plants could be a better solution not only in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, but also in terms of final costs. "Green ammonia has the best chance of becoming the first fossil fuel disruptive e-fuel/e-chemical, simply because of its attractive economics."
