“Show us how we will gain a profit in five years” “The price of NG is too low for NH3 to succeed” “Auto companies are afraid of NH3 as a transportation fuel” “The technical risk is still too great” “SSAS requires solutions to problems that have stymied the development of SOFC” “Are the scarce/precious metals going to be available in the quantities required?” “Do you have a recycle/reclamation process for them?” “Grid-scale technologies have too much of a head start” WindtoGreen Feedback
35
Transient renewable power Cheap natural gas Declining interest in green tech Tighter venture capital End of wind credits Missing data for SSAS scale-up Fixation on H 2 and grid storage Fear of NH 3 toxicity WindtoGreen Underlying Issues
