Australian researchers develop new hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process to produce green ammonia

Green Car Congress

The method makes green ammonia from air, water and renewable electricity and does not require the high temperatures, high pressure and huge infrastructure currently needed to produce this essential compound. Once we generated that intermediary in water, designing a selective catalyst and scaling the system became significantly easier.
