NitroCat has developed a novel ammonia catalyst that is able to convert green hydrogen cells into green ammonia cells. This removes the need for costly compressors and heating and easier integration with renewables, reducing the cost of ammonia by as much as 40% compared to Haber Bosch processes.
Decentralized green ammonia brings great promise to address the farming productivity paradox in Africa: Africa employs an agricultural workforce 10 times larger than the United States, yet its farms are only one-sixth as productive. Most green ammonia systems useelectrochemical cells to produce green hydrogen that then feeds to a high pressure and temperature reactor to produce Ammonia - causing challenges with reliability, complexity, and flexibility. Nitrocat have created a catalyst that simplifies these systems by converting green hydrogen electrochemical cells into green ammonia cells - reducing system CAPEX by 20 - 30%.
