Computer models pinpoint catalysts for replacing fossil-fueled ammonia production
Researchers used computer modeling to identify specific catalysts that could enable ammonia production without relying on fossil‑fuel‑derived hydrogen and heat.
AI Summary
Researchers used computer modeling to identify specific catalysts that could enable ammonia production without relying on fossil‑fuel‑derived hydrogen and heat. The study focuses on replacing the century‑old Haber–Bosch process, which currently consumes up to 2 % of global energy and contributes about 1.5 % of greenhouse‑gas emissions. By pinpointing catalyst properties that facilitate alternative reaction pathways, the work aims to guide the development of more sustainable, low‑carbon ammonia synthesis methods.
