Multi-Objective Optimization for Sustainable Design of Power-to-Ammonia Plants

This work addresses the process design of Power-to-Ammonia plants (i.e. ammonia from renewable-powered electrolysis) by a novel methodology based on the multi-objective optimization of the �Three pillars of sustainability�: economic, environmental, and social. Specifically, we developed a tool estimating the installed capacities of every main process section typically featured by Power-to-Ammonia facilities (e.g., the renewable power plant, the electrolyzer, energy and hydrogen storage systems, etc.) to maximize the plant�s �Global Sustainability Score�.
