The northeast region of Brazil is experimenting an increasingly large percentage of power is being generated from wind energy. This increase in the use of wind energy, this being an intermittent energy, together with the reduction of reservoirs of energy accumulation in this region, increases the need to find different sources of energy storage. Ammonia is one of the best candidates wanting to reduce the carbon emissions for energy storage, making it with hydrogen by water electrolysis. The objective of this paper is to analyze the potential of wind energy in the state of Ceará, calculating the energy potential of 6 types of wind turbines with the aim of comparing it with energy consumption in the same region to obtain the energy that is being wasted and be able to calculate how much energy can be stored with ammonia.
