However, the resulting low gas prices, as well as clean air and climate policies, will promote further switching to gas from other more polluting energy sources, such as oil and coal. Ample natural gas resources exist to support demand growth, but greater gas infrastructure development is needed to support growth in the medium term.

Generation 2 moves the Haber-Bosch process to renewable sources of hydrogen. The process generates H 2 from natural gas or coal through steam reforming and combines it with N 2 , which has been separated from air by a cryogenic process, to form NH 3. The reaction between N 2 and H 2 requires temperatures in excess of 400 ?
