Scientists crack code for making ammonia with electricity instead of fossil fuels
Researchers have developed a new electrocatalytic process that converts nitrogen and water into ammonia using renewable electricity, sidestepping the century-old Haber-Bosch method that consumes 2% of global energy. The breakthrough could reshape fertilizer production and industrial chemicals manufacturing, opening a path to decarbonize a $60 billion annual industry.
