Professor Laura Torrente Murciano, Professor of Reaction Engineering and Catalysis, together with her colleague Dr Collin Smith in the Catalysis and Process Integration Group, have led the study published in Nature Chemical Engineering.
“We are working towards the synthesis of green ammonia as green fertiliser and direct replacement of fossil fuels and, although technology is available, its deployment is far from becoming a reality due to economic reasons,” said Professor Torrente. “In this paper we reveal the main barriers considering that renewable energy is increasingly cheaper.”
