Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between National Energy Technology Laboratory and Nuionic Technologies (Canada) Inc. [Abstract]
- National Energy Technology Lab. (NETL), Albany, OR (United States)
- Nuionic Technologies (Canada) Inc.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and NuIonic will collaborate in the development and commercial scaling of low-temperature and pressure ammonia synthesis using microwaves. Ammonia is one of the largest used chemicals in the world and is currently manufactured with a high temperature and pressure Haber-Bosch process. The current economical production scale of ammonia using Haber-Bosch (HB) synthesis is too large for the deployable scale of renewables (from 1 to 150 MW). Scaling down a HB process to 170,000 ton/year would increase production costs by a factor of 2-3. This collaboration will facilitate the deployment of a non-HB process for ammonia production that can directly interface and provide storage for intermittent renewable energy.
