Therefore, hydrogen must be turned into ammonia to ship it, using even more energy. By the end, approximately 80 per cent of the original energy is lost. That is not a smart use of Atlantic Canada’s renewable energy. The wind energy used to produce hydrogen won’t be available for local use. And it leaks a lot.
