A paradigm shift in nitrogen activation for green ammonia synthesis

无碳社会的未来取决于长期储存可再生能源的能力，以使生产与我们的能源需求保持一致。在这种情况下，氨作为无碳能源载体提供了很大的多功能性，具有高能量密度和现有的全球运输和储存基础设施。该项目研究了一种新的高风险，但潜在的革命性，氨合成催化循环，用于使用可再生能源直接合成绿色氨，远离传统的哈伯-博世工艺。

The future of a carbon-free society lies on capability of storing renewable energy in the long term to align production with our energy demands. In this context, ammonia offers a great versatility as carbon-free energy vector, with a high energy density and existing global transportation and storage infrastructure. This project investigates a new high-risk, but potentially revolutionary, ammonia synthesis catalytic cycle for the direct synthesis of green ammonia using renewable energy, moving away from the conventional Haber- Bosch process.
