"Revolutionary Clean Ammonia Production Method Promises 60% Cost Reduction, Reveals US University"
TL;DR
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have developed a new lithium-mediated ammonia synthesis (LMAS) method that could produce clean ammonia at a cost of $450 per tonne, making it 60% cheaper than using green hydrogen. The process involves combining nitrogen gas and a hydrogen-donating fluid with a charged lithium electrode, and the method does not result in the by-production of large quantities of H2 gas. This new approach could significantly reduce the cost of producing clean ammonia, which is used in fertilizers, chemicals, and is being considered as a clean shipping fuel.
