In a study published in One Earth, researcher Robert Istrate shows it's even possible to make ammonia production net-zero or carbon negative. Ammonia is a chemical more essential than many realize.
Ammonia is plenty useful as a fertilizer ingredient and a means of energy storage, but its production currently accounts for around 2% of energy consumption around the globe.
Ammonia, a key ingredient in synthetic fertilizers, is critical in global agriculture, supporting billions of people. However, its production contributes significantly to carbon emissions ...
A new device has been made that can make a key fertilizer ingredient – commonly known as ammonia – directly from the air using wind energy. Researchers at Stanford University and King Fahd ...
Taking inspiration from how nature --including lightning -- produces ammonia, a team has developed a reactor that produces the chemical commodity from nitrogen in the air and water, without any carbon ...
