ORACLE

To move from large centralised ammonia plants with high-energy consumption and CO 2 emissions to ammonia as a renewable fuel, it is necessary to switch to smaller scale decentralised ammonia production facilities with electricity produced from renewable sources such as wind turbines and solar photo-voltaic cells. Observing the highly efficient nitrogen fixation occurring in nature by bacteria and plants at ambient conditions, we were inspired to explore the electrochemical route to ammonia synthesis... The reactors for ammonia synthesis will be combining catalytic and magnetic nanoparticles for heating, embedded in high-surface area 3D printed ceramic supports.
