Plasma driven electrochemical synthesis of urea

尿素是世界上使用最多的氮肥，尿素的产量比任何其他有机化学品都多。然而，世界正在经历一个严重的化合物短缺，影响我们的粮食成本和安全沿着依赖产品，如AdBlue（柴油机尾气净化液）。商业尿素生产依赖于氨和二氧化碳在高温下的复杂反应，消耗了全球2%以上的能源。该项目旨在通过使用等离子体驱动的电化学技术，利用空气和捕获的二氧化碳生产更可持续的尿素，为农民提供分散和安全供应的低成本肥料。

Urea is the most used nitrogen fertilizer in the world, with more urea manufactured by mass than any other organic chemical. However, the world is experiencing a major shortage of the compound, impacting our food costs and security along with dependent products such as AdBlue (diesel ­exhaust fluid). Commercial urea production relies on a complex reaction between ammonia and carbon dioxide at high temperatures, which consumes more than 2% of the world’s energy. This project aims to produce more sustainable urea driven by electricity and using air and captured CO2, through the use of a plasma-driven electrochemical technology, providing farmers with a low-cost fertilizer under a decentralized and secure supply.
