How To Produce Green Ammonia | REVOLVE

Ammonia production accounts for 1% of global carbon emissions – approximately 500 million tons of carbon dioxide per year – over 95% of this ammonia comes from hydrogen produced from fossil fuels. Using green hydrogen is key to more sustainable ammonia production and for the transition to a low-carbon economy. Green ammonia can have widespread uses around the world such as fertilizer for food production or feedstock for industrial processes. Ammonia contains about 3 times more energy than compressed hydrogen with the tremendous potential to act as a carbon-free energy carrier and as a clean fuel source for generating electricity and powering shipping.

I believe there is ongoing research into some processes for ammonia synthesis which may be able to skip the free hydrogen step using electrolytic cells, thus veering away from the using Haber Bosch.

hello... first I want to tell you my english very bad so I'm sorry if there's a mistake. As we know 'green' came from the renewable electricity. Is it worth dealing with it I mean you make electricity (ammonia burn) from another process that need electricity (electrolysis, air separator, haber-bosch) obtain from renewable (it is about needed and produced).

Why not keep the green hydrogen for use in a fuel cell vehicle instead of using it to produce ammonia?

[Iconcoclastician]

And where does the green hydrogen come from? From electrolysis powered by coal plants? Or by renewables that took fossil fuels to create? “Green hydrogen” is fishy at best. A fish that smells like greenwashing.

how are you moving all that heat? How is this green? Are you burning coal to power a furnace?
