Green Ammonia production prioritises environmental sustainability and reduced carbon emissions (100% renewable energy and carbon-free) that seeks to use renewable energy sources like wind, solar, or hydropower to produce hydrogen, a key component in ammonia production. The production of Green Ammonia could offer further options in the transition to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions: Ammonia Storage Energy (Liquid at pressures (10-15 bar) or refrigerated to -33°C); Zero-carbon fuel (Ammonia’s by-products are water and nitrogen)

Green Ammonia Breakthrough to Transform Fuel and Fertilizer Industries (Source: Oil price on 15 November 2023): By Brian Westenhaus - Researchers at University of New South Wales Sydney and their collaborators have developed an innovative technique for sustainable ammonia production at scale. With a prototype unit nearing production of ammonia for fertilizers, in a market that has one of the largest carbon footprints among industrial processes, will soon be possible on farms using low-cost, low-energy and environmentally friendly technology. Ammonia also has immense potential as an optimal hydrogen carrier for fuel cells. Up until now, the production of ammonia has relied on high-energy processes that leave a massive global carbon footprint with production temperatures of more than 400o C and pressures exceeding 200 atmospheres that account for 2 percent of the world’s energy and 1.8 percent of its CO2. ...
