The DARE2X project is proposing a disruptive approach to decarbonising ammonia (NH3) production: development of sorption enhanced plasma-catalytic synthesis. NH3 is the chemical produced in the second highest quantities globally and is responsible for 1.8% of global CO2 emissions. Furthermore, its demand is expected to increase drastically in the coming decade through its huge promise as a green fuel. As a result, decarbonisation of NH3 production is an essential goal for decarbonisation of the EU economy by 2050. The timing is vital in starting the push for future production technologies for green NH3, to meet the expected increase in demand. The main challenges for realising European green NH3 production is to transition away from fossil fuel-based, centralised Haber-Bosch facilities, to decentralised, dynamic systems that can be coupled directly to renewable electricity generators at or near the point of use. This does, however, require significant developments. DARE2X will overcome these barriers through the following game-changing solutions: (i) reactors utilising non-thermal plasma to drive NH3 synthesis; (ii) novel, more active catalysts using low-CRM materials, iii) stable and efficient NH3 sorption materials for in-situ NH3 separation. These innovations will be integrated into a single sorption-enhanced plasma catalytic device that will be validated at TRL4. The economic, environmental and social feasibility will be assessed through LCA, LCC and a social acceptance study. To meet these objectives, DARE2X combines world-leading research institutions and innovative and R&D performing SMEs specialised in renewable technologies, materials engineering, and technology demonstrations. The novel DARE2X approach has the potential to make decentralised production of green NH3 cost-competitive, providing European self-sufficiency of this vital future fuel, and creating European scientific and innovation excellence that will spawn new companies and create jobs.

DARE2X项目提出了一种破坏性氨（NH3）生产的方法：吸附增强的血浆催化合成。 NH3是全球第二高量生产的化学物质，占全球二氧化碳排放量的1.8％。此外，通过其作为绿色燃料的巨大承诺，预计在未来十年的需求将大幅度增加。结果，NH3生产的脱碳是到2050年欧盟经济脱碳的基本目标。时间对于开始推动绿色NH3的未来生产技术至关重要，以满足预期的需求增加。实现欧洲绿色NH3生产的主要挑战是从化石燃料的集中式Haber-Bosch设施过渡到可以直接与使用点或附近可再生电力发生器耦合的分散的动态系统。但是，这确实需要重大的发展。 DARE2X将通过以下改变游戏的解决方案克服这些障碍：（i）使用非热等离子体驱动NH3合成的反应器； （ii）使用低CRM材料的新型，更活跃的催化剂，iii）稳定而有效的NH3吸附材料，用于原位NH3分离。这些创新将集成到将在TRL4验证的单个吸附增强的等离子体催化装置。经济，环境和社会可行性将通过LCA，LCC和社会接受研究评估。为了实现这些目标，Dare2X结合了世界领先的研究机构以及创新和研发表演中小企业，专门从事可再生技术，材料工程和技术演示。这种新颖的DARE2X方法有可能使绿色NH3成本竞争力的绿色NH3分散生产，从而为这种重要的未来燃料提供了欧洲的自给自足，并创造了欧洲科学和创新的卓越性，从而产生新公司并创造就业机会。
