Abstract

A system for producing and storing energy may include a first module configured to blend hydrogen generated from electrolysis of water using renewable energy and hydrogen extracted from cellulosic plant residue to create blended hydrogen. This blended hydrogen may be utilized in a second module configured to synthesize anhydrous ammonia using the blended hydrogen. A third module may be configured to convert anhydrous ammonia from various sources into electrical energy.
