‘Our technology can produce zero-carbon ammonia via green hydrogen at 60% of the cost of the highly polluting grey variety’

The shipping-container-sized ‘hydrogen ammonia synthesiser’ system developed by Toronto-based FuelPositive could clean up the global production of ammonia, CEO Ian Clifford tells Recharge.

A Canadian technology company says it has developed equipment that will produce zero-emissions green ammonia from renewable hydrogen at a far cheaper price than highly polluting grey ammonia.

About 235 million tonnes of ammonia (NH₃) are produced globally every year, mainly for fertiliser, almost all of which is produced by combining grey hydrogen — derived from natural gas or coal with carbon emissions of nine to 18 tonnes for every tonne of H₂ — with nitrogen from the air in a century-old process called Haber-Bosch.

Haber-Bosch is extremely energy-intensive — requiring high temperatures of 400-500°C and pressures above 100 bar — and is usually powered by burning fossil fuels. This process alone is said to be responsible for 1% of the world’s carbon emissions each year — and that’s not including the CO₂ emitted from grey hydrogen production.

And with about half of the world’s food production relying on ammonia fertiliser, decarbonising the production of the chemical is of vital importance — not to mention the fact that green NH₃ is being touted as a potential carbon-free fuel for shipping and even power production.

This is where Toronto-based FuelPositive comes in. Continue reading the rest of the article on Recharge here.
