Ammonia (NH 3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in industrial settings. Among other things, it is used to produce fertilizers, ...

Scientists at Science Tokyo have developed an iron-based catalyst that outperforms the century-old conventional catalyst used for ammonia (NH 3) production. The team designed the catalyst with an ...

Using ammonia is regarded as a promising method of transporting hydrogen. However, an efficient process is also needed to convert it back into hydrogen and nitrogen. Using ammonia is regarded as a ...

Ammonia sits at the heart of modern agriculture and heavy industry, but the way the world makes it today is one of the most energy hungry and carbon intensive processes in chemistry. A new generation ...

Three Danish energy tech firms have flung open the doors to the first ever green ammonia plant in the world, in the town of Ramme, Denmark. The plant is said to be capable of producing 5,000 tons of ...

Researchers from Japan’s RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS), led by Satoshi Kamiguchi, have identified a more environmentally friendly technique to generate ammonia, a key component ...

Green ammonia is produced using renewable energy, green hydrogen, and nitrogen from the air, making it more environmentally friendly than brown ammonia. Several hard-to-abate industries, such as ...
