Description

The aim of this study is to produce a primarily quantitative assessment of the relative cost-competitiveness of low carbon ammonia and methanol production in the UK versus low carbon ammonia and methanol imports. DESNZ and DfT propose the main sectors for the scope of this study to be maritime, agriculture and chemicals; however, this can be discussed with the supplier.
