The production of ammonia for synthetic fertilizer is a massive chemical market worldwide, but it is also notorious for its high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The Haber-Bosch process, widely used for ammonia production, accounts for approximately 1% of global fossil fuel usage and carbon emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Benjamin Snyder, a chemist, and his team have made significant progress in developing a greener method for ammonia production. This development will pave the way for the production of more environmentally friendly fertilizer. One of the main challenges in reducing energy input for ammonia production has been separating … Continue reading Beyond Haber-Bosch: Chemists Stumble Upon a Greener Method to Make Ammonia for Sustainable Agriculture
