Why Green Urea

Green Ammonia: The Answer To A More Sustainable Future

Ammonia saved the world once; it might do it again.A century ago, the world faced a looming food crisis. A booming population was pushing farmers to grow crops faster than nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil could keep up, and the South American deposits of guano and natural nitrates they applied as fertilizer were dwindling.In what may still be the biggest global problem solved by chemistry, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch developed a process to react hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen under pressure to make ammonia, which farmers adopted in place of natural fertilizers.
Today’s crisis is climate change. This time, ammonia can be produced by hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen separated from the air, the whole process is 100% carbon free. Compared with hydrogen, ammonia is expanding from the most traditional agricultural fertilizer field to the energy field due to its obvious advantages in storage and transportation.As a carrier of zero-carbon fuel and hydrogen energy, ammonia is an important pillar in achieving future green development.

The Threat of Climate Change

Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming.

Temperature Rise

The Earth is now about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the 1800s. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, temperature could increase by as much as 4.4°C by the end of the century.

CO₂ Concentration

The concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere is currently at nearly 412 parts per million (ppm) and rising. This represents a 47 percent increase since the beginning of the Industrial Age.

Achieving Green Energy Transformation

One of the most promising applications of green ammonia is its utilization as a sustainable energy carrier. Ammonia can be produced from the available elemental hydrogen and nitrogen in the air and, if necessary, can be broken down again into its components with the help of an ammonia cracker. This means ammonia can be transported around the world from areas rich in wind and solar resources, where it can be used directly to generate electricity or cracked again into hydrogen for industrial applications.

Ammonia can also be burned directly, for example in gas turbines or ship engines. Due to its versatility, ammonia is an ideal green energy molecule. Ammonia has a higher energy density than hydrogen, which makes it easy to transport and easy to store. This makes green ammonia an ideal liquid energy carrier for transporting renewable energy “green hydrogen” over long distances.

Furthermore, ammonia is already a globally traded product with existing transportation infrastructure, thus offering significant potential for the global green energy economy and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

What is Ammonia Cracking?

The ammonia cracking technology converts ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen gas. Ammonia is a low-cost chemical raw material. It has the advantages of high energy density, easy compression and liquefaction, convenient storage and transportation, and does not produce CO2 when burned. Therefore, the idea of using ammonia as a hydrogen transport carrier has received widespread attention. Moreover, ammonia’s high mass and volumetric hydrogen storage densities make it a promising hydrogen transportation carrier.

ln addition, the nitrogen gas produced through ammonia catalytic cracking is an excellent protective gas and can be widely applied in the semiconductor and metallurgical industries.

Ammonia Cracking - Towards a Carbon-Free Future

Green hydrogen boasts environmentally friendly characteristics. Nations engaged in hydrogen industry development account for 75% of the global economic output. However, due to the unresolved balance between hydrogen storage density, safety, and storage costs, the hydrogen industry has not yet formed a truly global supply chain and has not played a substantial role in driving global economic development and addressing climate change.

Ammonia cracking can help solve multiple challenges in hydrogen storage and transportation, reducing costs, and facilitating the formation of a global supply chain, paving the way for a true carbon-free future

Hydrogen Production

Ammonia cracking is primarily employed for the production of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier and is widely used in industrial processes, such as hydrogenation reactions, ammonia synthesis, and in fuel cells for electricity generation.

Chemical Synthesis

The hydrogen generated from ammonia cracking can be used in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of ammonia itself. It serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of various chemicals like methanol, fertilizers, and other industrial compounds.

Cost Reduction

Ammonia has been produced in large quantities for a long time, primarily for fertilizer production, which has led to the development of extensive storage and transportation infrastructure, thus reducing storage and transportation costs.
