RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. Hydrogen (H 2 ) is an attractive chemical fuel, with very high gravimetric energy content (120 MJ/kg) and an emissions profile free from carbon dioxide.

This is primarily due to a significant surplus in the Class 2 market that occurred in 2022 and is expected to remain throughout 2023-2024, mainly owing to growing production of low-grade nickel in Indonesia. At the same time, robust demand for nickel in alloys and special steel sectors supports prices of the exchange-traded Class 1 nickel.

A multi-institution team of researchers has developed a novel class of materials that enable a safer, cheaper, and more energy-efficient process for removing greenhouse gas from power plant emissions. They have significant performance advantages over the carbon-absorbing materials used in current CCS technology. —Vericella et al.
