Ammonia is one of the world’s most important chemicals directly sustaining over 50% of our food supply. But the current means of its production is highly eco-destructive and responsible for over 1% of global CO2 emissions, a similar value to global air travel. This project aims to produce ammonia from renewable sources of water, electricity and air, which can provide farmers with a zero-carbon fertilizer under a decentralized and even farm-level approach. Moreover, if driven by renewables, ammonia offers an effective means of exporting hydrogen from Australia. Hydrogen has been highlighted by the federal government as a priority technology in its Technology Investment Roadmap with ammonia seen as the best approach for its exportation.

氨是世界上最重要的化学品之一，直接维持着我们50%以上的食物供应。但其目前的生产方式具有高度的生态破坏性，造成了全球超过1%的二氧化碳排放，与全球航空旅行的价值相似。该项目旨在从可再生的水、电和空气资源中生产氨，这可以在分散甚至农场层面的方法下为农民提供零碳化肥。此外，如果由可再生能源驱动，氨提供了一种从澳大利亚出口氢气的有效手段。联邦政府在其技术投资路线图中强调氢气是一项优先技术，氨被视为出口氢气的最佳方式。
