    Is that as efficient to produce from excess energy? Especially energy that might be highly variable. Hydrogen production can be turned on/off instantaneously and only need a fairly small amount of buffer space for it if you are turning it into something else.

      no, it requires a lot of heat. but on the other hand it binds hydrogen into a more stable form and can be made with captured carbon.

        Ammonia requires hydrogen and nitrogen from the air. Both certainly are more stable than hydrogen on its own.
