- Additional information
- The Haber-Bosch Process accounts for ~2% total annual energy use worldwide, contributing over 400 million metric tons of CO2 per annum to the atmosphere in a reaction that provides food for over 4.5 billion people on the planet. This EU-funded work reports a new method of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, based on plasma catalysis and new catalyst materials, resulting in high yields (~60%) at moderate to ambient conditions. The potential contribution to climate change mitigation is significant (saving ~10% Haber-Process energy and CO2). A small-scale nitrogen fixation plant is being developed in the Netherlands, incorporating all-electric low-pressure ammonia synthesis https://www.ammoniaenergy.org/articles/green-ammonia-demonstration-plant-in-the-netherlands/
