As the need for clean and sustainable energy sources grows rapidly, green hydrogen and ammonia have become promising sources of low-carbon energy and important key players in the transition to green energy. However, production and storage problems make it hard to use them widely. The goal of this review paper is to give a complete overview of the latest technology for the manufacture and storage of hydrogen and ammonia. This paper deals with hydrogen and ammonia synthesis and storage. It examines the most recent technological breakthroughs in areas such as electrolysis, reforming, C-ZEROS, HYSATA, DAE, sulfide, and SRBW, as well as novel storage techniques, such as solid-state storage, plasma kinetics, and POWERPASTE. This article examines the history of ammonia production and discusses some of the newer and more sustainable techniques for producing ammonia, such as electrochemical and biological approaches. This study also looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) and additive manufacturing (AM) could be used to revolutionize the way green hydrogen and ammonia are produced, with an emphasis on recent breakthroughs in AI-assisted catalyst design and 3D-printed reactors, as well as considering major investments in the shift to green energy, such as Moroccan government programs, and how they may affect future hydrogen and ammonia production.
