The project aims to develop a robust process for electrosynthesis of ammonia using devices manufactured by Melbourne company Jupiter Ionics P/L and innovative electrolyte components. Towards this aim, tailored ion-shuttling compounds need to be designed and investigated to enable continuous generation of ammonia in scaled-up flow devices. This is expected to generate new knowledge in practical electrochemistry, catalysis and sustainable synthesis. Key project outcome is a technology for production of ammonia from renewables that is pollution-free and highly scalable in contrast to the current process. Resulting benefit to Australian agriculture businesses is a method for distributed fertiliser generation without the use of fossil fuels.

该项目旨在开发一种强大的工艺，使用墨尔本公司Jupiter Ionics P/L制造的设备和创新的电解质组件进行氨的电合成。为了实现这一目标，需要设计和研究定制的离子穿梭化合物，以使得能够在按比例放大的流动装置中连续生成氨。这有望在实用电化学、催化和可持续合成方面产生新的知识。项目的主要成果是一种利用可再生能源生产氨的技术，与目前的工艺相比，该技术无污染，可扩展性强。澳大利亚农业企业由此受益的是一种不使用化石燃料的分布式化肥生产方法。
