Monash team proposes roadmap to renewable ammonia economy; 3 generations of technology

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Monash University in Australia are proposing a roadmap to renewable ammonia being produced in the future at a scale that is significant in terms of global fossil fuel use. Generation 3 avoids the need for the Haber-Bosch process entirely by direct electrochemical conversion of N 2 to NH 3.

US DOE Awarding $122M to Establish Energy Innovation Hub for Direct Conversion of Solar Energy to Chemical Fuels

Green Car Congress

The goal of the Hub is then to develop an integrated solar energy-to-chemical fuel conversion system and move this system from the bench-top discovery phase to a scale where it can be commercialized. Selection is based on a competitive process using scientific peer review.

Loughborough team develops novel system to enhance SCR operation to reduce NOx further

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Loughborough University in the UK have developed a novel system that enhances SCR operation to further reduce NO x emissions and improve diesel engine efficiency. This system uses AdBlue to safely provide the ammonia required to reduce NO x into harmless nitrogen and water.

Copper foam catalyst yields different product slate from CO2 than smooth electrodes; importance of catalyst architecture

Green Car Congress

A catalyst made from a foamy form of copper has different electrochemical properties from catalysts made with smooth copper in reactions involving carbon dioxide, according to a new study by a team from Brown University. The work in the study is part of a larger effort by Browns Center for the Capture and Conversion of CO 2.
