Taking a cue from lightning, eco-friendly reactor converts air and water into ammonia

Without any carbon footprint

27-Dec-2024 - There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers that supply much of the world’s food supply and enabled the population explosion of the last ...

Climate-friendly electricity from ammonia

Electricity and heat are generated in a single compact system — without CO2 emissions or other harmful byproducts.

05-Nov-2024 - Using hydrogen to generate electricity does not cause any climate-damaging emissions. But storing and transporting the gas pose technical challenges. With this in mind, Fraunhofer researchers use ammonia, a hydrogen derivative that is easier to handle, as a starting material. Ammonia is cracked ...
