Green ammonia enables sustainable energy production in small
There are multiple options for sustainable energy generation on Curaçao. A previous study on Barbados, another Caribbean island, showed that wind energy is the renewable energy source with the lowest cost in the Caribbean [46]. This is in line with the 30 MW offshore wind capacity already in place on Curaçao [5].
