How to convert current ammonia production process into green ammonia?

Converting current ammonia production process into green ammonia require entirely shifting to renewable however running large scale Haber-Bosch reactor through solar, wind or hydro drastically decrease the production efficiency due to uncertainty in energy supply .

How is renewable ammonia produced?

Renewable ammonia is produced through a more environmentally sustainable approach overall, using renewable electricity (typically wind- or solar-generated) to power electrolyzers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Can a solar-driven SOEC produce green ammonia?

In this paper, a novel full-spectrum solar-driven SOEC coupled with Haber-Bosch process is proposed for green ammonia production. The solar-to-ammonia (STA) efficiency of the proposed system is compared with the state-of-the-art efficiency.

Is green ammonia an opportunity for Pacific Green solar technologies?

At Pacific Green Solar Technologies, we see green ammonia as a major opportunity for the business and are keen to work with investors and developers in driving forward new projects. As recent interest in green hydrogen has shown, there is significant institutional appetite to embrace new low-carbon fuels. So let’s get going.

Why is green ammonia production important?

Specifically, the production of 1 ton of ammonia generates 2.9 tons of carbon dioxide emissions . Therefore, developing green ammonia production process, especially with renewable energy, is crucial to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating the climate change.

What is small-scale green ammonia production?

The basis of small-scale green ammonia production is the employment of water-electrolysis (WE) technology providing downstream technologies with hydrogen. Energy generated through renewable sources can now be stored in the form of chemicals, mainly ammonia, thus overcoming the biggest bottleneck and concern of renewable energy – fluctuation.
