Blue / Green Ammonia
Pioneering Sustainable Ammonia Production
LANH3, we currently use blue hydrogen for the ammonia synthesis, and planning on fully transitioning to green hydrogen in the near future. The value chains of green and blue ammonia differ in the method that is used to produce the hydrogen. Green ammonia is generated from water electrolysis, where electricity is used from renewable energy sources. Blue ammonia is generated from natural resources, but with the addition of carbon capture. Both are responsible ways of producing ammonia and aim at minimizing GHG emissions.
Haber-Bosch
Ammonia consists of three hydrogen molecules and one nitrogen molecule (NH3). We produce the ammonia through ammonia synthesis also known as the Haber-Bosch process. This is an exothermic reaction that occurs spontaneously under low temperatures. However, under these low temperatures the speed of the reaction is not high enough to apply it on a large industrial scale. In order to effectively synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen we let the reaction occur under high temperature and pressure supported by an iron-based catalyst.
