There's plenty of demand for hydrogen as hydrogen. And one of the things the Germans are doing is mixing hydrogen into the natural gas supply. That's pretty cheap to do compared to having to spend energy on chemical alchemy to turn the hydrogen into something else. Another option is to turn it into natural gas, plenty of existing infrastructure for handling that as well. So, ammonia is interesting but by no means a slam dunk. And whether it makes sense to ship it internationally is an open question given the differing economics of green hydrogen vs sticking a hole in the ground and having fossil fuels come out. Here's what I said in the other thread: "The comparative advantage nations have over each other in energy in a post-fossil fuel world will be much reduced. That is, Saudi Arabia has a huge advantage over Japan in terms of cheap fossil fuel energy, so Japan imports a lot from them. Though Saudi Arabia likely has an advantage over Japan in renewable resources, its not as dramatic as their fossil fuel advantage, so Japan would invest in their own energy resources and import less of them. Because of this there will likely be much less international energy traded in general."
