Synthesizing ammonia, the key ingredient in fertilizer, is energy intensive and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas warming of the planet. Chemists designed and synthesized porous materials -- ...

This story was originally published by WIRED and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Of all the elements that make up Earth's atmosphere, nitrogen is by far the most abundant ...

Ammonia is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, used mostly as fertilizer, but also for the production of ...

Fixation of Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia (NH3) is an essential process for maintaining life on earth. Currently, Ammonia (NH3) production is dominated by the Haber–Bosch process. It operates under ...

A reactor that uses steel balls to smash together nitrogen, hydrogen, and an iron catalyst can produce a continuous stream of ammonia, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The discovery ...

The revolutionary use of ammonia (NH3) * as a fertilizer has greatly benefited human food production. Recently, it has drawn attention again, as the use of green ammonia is considered a significant ...

Ammonia -- a colorless gas essential for things like fertilizer -- can be made by a new process which is far cleaner, easier and cheaper than the current leading method. Researchers use readily ...

MIT researchers propose a hybrid method to cut ammonia production emissions up to 63% by combining "blue" and "green" ...

Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a groundbreaking way to produce ammonia using electricity and artificial lightning. The innovation offers a cleaner, decentralized alternative to ...

Renner and Sankaran have resurrected an element from a little-known Norwegian method that predated Haber-Bosch (the Birkeland-Eyde process), which reacted nitrogen and oxygen to produce nitrates, ...

Ammonia - a colorless gas essential for things like fertilizer - can be made by a new process which is far cleaner, easier and cheaper than the current leading method. UTokyo researchers use readily ...
