The project will design a new solar-powered system for electrosynthesis of ammonia to replace the current energy intensive, non-sustainable process that generates 1.5% of global CO2 emissions. An innovative new system will be developed by combining cutting edge electrochemical, spectroscopic and theoretical methods. Expected key outcomes include novel concepts in the design of advanced materials, and an efficient process for the green ammonia synthesis. Given the strategic importance of ammonia as a future energy carrier for the export of Australian renewables and as a major source of fertilisers, this project should provide significant national economic and ecological benefits and is expected to have a broad reaching global impact.

该项目将设计一种新的太阳能电合成氨系统，以取代目前能源密集型、不可持续的过程，该过程产生的二氧化碳排放量占全球排放量的1.5%。将前沿的电化学、光谱和理论方法相结合，将开发一种创新的新系统。预期的关键成果包括先进材料设计的新概念，以及绿色氨合成的高效工艺。鉴于氨作为澳大利亚可再生能源出口的未来能源载体和化肥主要来源的战略重要性，该项目应能提供显著的国家经济和生态效益，并有望产生广泛的全球影响。
