CO2-neutral ammonia production with concentrated solar technology is theoretically possible based on advanced solar thermochemical looping technology. STAP offers price stability achieving a target price <250 $/tonne NH3 without including the H2. The nitride cost is the most significant expense, accounting for more than the 50% of the total CapEx.
