Question

Where is energy derived from for the reaction of synthesis of ammonia by nitrogenase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Greenhouse gas emissions can be drastically reduced during ammonia synthesis if renewable energy is used.
2. As a result, chemical energy storage can be used to balance supply and demand.
3. The electricity required for the compressors is also obtained from the wind turbines.
4. In most cases, activation is accomplished in situ through reduction with synthesis gas.
5. Commercially available pre-reduced catalysts are also available.
6. For over a century, researchers have been studying heterogeneously catalyzed ammonia synthesis.
7. Water electrolysis combined with renewable technologies such as wind and solar is the most widely used technology for sustainable hydrogen production used in ammonia synthesis.
