MIT's zero-energy technique shows how to brew ammonia underground

Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy. Yet a new method from MIT that would derive the compound using the Earth's rocks and natural heat cleans it up considerably.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Ammonia, Clean Energy, MIT, Greenhouse Gas Emissions

H2-View News: MIT taps natural hydrogen to redefine ammonia production

The team says the Earth’s naturally occurring heat and pressure could act as a “geochemical reactor” to produce large volumes of the hydrogen compound. The team found water – which carries a source of nitrogen and particles of metal catalyst – injected underground into areas of iron-rich subsurface rock reacted to produce hydrogen. That hydrogen

MIT taps natural hydrogen to redefine ammonia production

“We are using subsurface temperature, pressure, chemistry and geologically existing rocks to produce ammonia directly.”
