The conference will delve into market of green ammonia, potential of it's usage as fertilizer in agroindustry and as fuel in marin industry. The conference will also show new trends in production of green hydrogen as one of the main componenets in producing of green ammonia.
Online Conference "Green Ammonia: A Pathway to a Sustainable Future" will be organized by Sowa Solutions on 29th October at 10am EST / 15h CET.
Current commercial ammonia production is predominately based around the Haber-Bosch process. This reaction involves the catalytic reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperature and pressure. . Fossil fuels are used in the production of this so-called "brown ammonia", which supplies the hydrogen and energy. About two tons of greenhouse gases are released for every tonne of ammonia generated.
And we generate this kind of ammonia on a massive scale—roughly half of the world's food is thought to be produced with artificial nitrogen-based fertilizers.
In contrast, green ammonia uses renewable energy sources and obtains its nitrogen from the air and its hydrogen from water. Although usually more costly, this method of producing ammonia is getting less expensive, in part because the cost of renewable energy is declining.
This technique is not dependent on natural gas in the same manner as the manufacturing of brown ammonia, which is a major advantage in addition to the fact that it produces fewer pollutants. This is especially important because Russia is a major supplier of natural gas as well as an ammonia producer. Due to sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, fertilizer costs and shortages have skyrocketed.
