The aim of this project is to develop and demonstrate high-performance devices for ammonia production from renewables by a scalable electrolysis method. This will be achieved by experimental and modelling investigations of the nitrogen reduction reaction to guide the design of tailor-made cathodes. New knowledge in catalysis and materials science is expected to be generated. The target outcome of the project is a sustainable and affordable ammonia synthesis method as an alternative to the current fossil-fuels-based and excessively greenhouse-emitting process. The technology to be developed in this project is anticipated to be of significant benefit to the Australian agriculture sector as a local, on-demand source of low-cost fertilisers.

该项目的目的是开发和演示可再生能源通过可扩展电解法生产氨的高性能设备。这将通过对氮气还原反应的实验和模拟研究来实现，以指导定制阴极的设计。预计将产生催化和材料科学方面的新知识。该项目的目标成果是一种可持续和负担得起的氨合成方法，作为目前以化石燃料为基础的过度温室气体排放过程的替代品。该项目将开发的技术预计将为澳大利亚农业部门带来重大好处，因为它是当地按需提供的低成本化肥来源。
