Green ammonia could be made sustainably using solar thermochemistry instead of as it is made today in the fossil-fueled Haber-Bosch process, which taps fossil energy for the thermochemistry and the heat and the high pressure it requires, while emitting almost three tons of CO2 for each ton of ammonia it produces. A research team from [...]
