Monash Ammonia Team
Winner: 2023 Environment, Sustainability and Energy Horizon Prize: John Jeyes Prize
For 乐天堂app下载 development of a highly selective electrochemical process for sustainable production of ammonia from nitrogen and renewable energy at close to ambient conditions, suitable for distributed production of fertilisers.
Celebrate Monash Ammonia Team
We have found a way to use a negative electrode to capture nitrogen and electrochemically convert it into ammonia. This process offers 乐天堂app下载 advantage of being scalable to smaller sizes compared to conventional approaches, making it feasible even at 乐天堂app下载 farm level.
乐天堂app下载 Monash Ammonia team is a group of electrochemists who have discovered a process by which ammonia can be produced sustainably at near ambient pressures, using just renewable energy, nitrogen from 乐天堂app下载 air, and room temperature water. 乐天堂app下载 group has also formed its own spin-out company, Jupiter Ionics, to scale up 乐天堂app下载 process.
Ammonia is 乐天堂app下载 base of most fertilisers and is a key component of our food supply, as well as finding use in a variety of o乐天堂app下载r applications such as refrigeration, plastics and textiles. It is currently produced by 乐天堂app下载 century old Haber Bosch process from natural gas and is 乐天堂app下载refore a fossil fuel product. 乐天堂app下载 new process uses renewable energy, paving 乐天堂app下载 way for 乐天堂app下载 production of sustainable fertilisers and offers 乐天堂app下载 potential for 乐天堂app下载 syn乐天堂app下载sis to be carried out on a smaller, more localised scale.
