Environmental Conversation and Safety Analysis of Ammonia Storage Tanks: An Indian Perspective from Lab to Industrial Scale

India is the largest democracy in the world known for its diplomacy across the globe. In the global energy transition race, India has potentially showcased itself as a global powerhouse in terms of hydrogen energy and agro-based energy sources. When it comes to the high-pressure low carbon energy carriers for global transition, there have been several accidents both at a national and an international scale specifically in terms of ammonia storage. This paper comprehensively analyses the accidents occurred due to ammonia gas leaks nationally from 2011 to 2024. In order to technically analyse the ammonia gas leaks, this paper experimentally demonstrates storage tanks from lab scale (2L) to industrial scale (100 L) in terms of several parameters including elastic strain, equivalent stress, strain energy and total deformation. Based on the results carried out, several future perspectives are laid out along with the proposed policy framework in order to produce safe and sustainable ammonia storage carriers in India which aligns with SDG-7 and COP-28 guidelines.
