Under the background of "double carbon", green ammonia technology may become a new way of global decarbonization!

At present, the global ammonia synthesis technology is mainly based on the Harber-Bosch method, that is, using hydrogen (from fossil energy such as natural gas or coal) and nitrogen in the atmosphere as reactants, and using catalysts to generate ammonia under high temperature and high pressure conditions
.
The production of ammonia by the Haber process consumes about 1.
8% of the world's energy, while the carbon dioxide emitted in the process also accounts for 1.
8% of the total global carbon dioxide emissions
.

On August 25, 2021, the Mechanical Materials Research Institute of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications of Korea announced that it has developed an innovative process for producing ammonia from renewable energy at normal temperature and pressure
.

Innovative process for producing ammonia from renewable energy

The above process is a green synthetic ammonia plasma catalyst integrated system: an environmental protection method for producing synthetic ammonia through the plasma catalyst integrated system by utilizing nitrogen and water in the atmosphere
.
This process does not use any fossil fuels and is a technology that can produce "green ammonia" with zero carbon emissions.
It can achieve an output 300-400 times higher than existing electrochemical ammonia production technology, which is considered to be Haber-Bosch.
main alternative to law
.

Different from the requirement of high temperature and high pressure in the existing ammonia production method, the reaction of water and nitrogen in this method takes place under normal temperature and normal pressure conditions
.
In addition, nitrate solution, a by-product of ammonia production, can also be used as an agricultural nutrient solution and oxidant
.

Many companies around the world plan to invest in green ammonia projects

China's carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality goals in 2060 have been determined.
The energy consumption of China's petrochemical and chemical industries has reached 420 million tons of standard coal, accounting for about 8.
4% of the country's total consumption; China's petrochemical and chemical industry's annual CO₂ The emission amounted to about 1.
1 billion tons, accounting for about 10% of the total national emission.
75% of the synthetic ammonia and production capacity were produced with coal as the raw material
.
To produce 1 ton of synthetic ammonia, the CO₂ emission of the coal head route is about 4.
2 tons, and the natural gas head route is about 2.
04 tons
.

In the future, the demand for synthetic ammonia will continue to show an upward trend.
Recently, two new green hydrogen synthetic ammonia projects have been put on record
.

On March 11, the 300,000-ton green hydrogen synthesis ammonia project of Urad Houqi Green Ammonia Technology Co.
, Ltd.
was approved for filing and publicity
