UW Madison chemists discover new way to harness energy from ammonia

Green Car Congress

A research team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has identified a new way to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas through a process that could be a step toward ammonia replacing carbon-based fuels. This process can be harnessed to produce electricity, with protons and nitrogen gas as byproducts. —Christian Wallen, co-author.

Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

Electromobility is just now picking up momentum; further, electric cars are only as emissions-free as the production of electricity that charges their batteries. In addition, around half the vehicles that will be on the road in 2030 have already been sold—most with gasoline or diesel engines. Then add carbon.
