Towards Electrochemical Fertiliser Production Powered by Renewable Energy

电化学制造系统是传统肥料制造厂的可持续替代品。该系统可以廉价地组装，并容易地集成到可再生电网中，解决了化肥厂的温室气体排放问题。该项目将确定尿素肥料和其他增值的含C-N化学品合成的突破性电化学途径。气态CO2和N2将发生电化学反应以产生C-N键。因此，将开发一套用于可持续肥料制造的新材料和电化学系统。预计该技术将彻底改变澳大利亚的化肥制造和农业。

The electrochemical manufacturing system is a sustainable alternative to traditional fertiliser manufacturing plants. The system can be assembled inexpensively and readily integrated into the renewable electricity grid, solving the greenhouse gas emission issues of the fertiliser plants. This project will identify ground-breaking electrochemical pathways for urea fertiliser and other value-added C-N containing chemicals synthesis. Gaseous CO2 and N2 will be electrochemically reacted to produce the C-N bonds. Therefore, a suite of new materials and electrochemical systems for sustainable fertiliser manufacturing will be developed. It is anticipated that the technology will revolutionise Australian fertiliser manufacturing and agriculture.
