Tokyo Tech catalyst enables lower-temperature synthesis of ammonia; energy and GHG savings

Green Car Congress

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed an improved catalyst for the synthesis of ammonia by taking the common dehydrating agent calcium hydride and adding fluoride to it. Renewable resource alternatives, such as wind energy, have been applied, but those have not proven sustainable.
