AMMONIA
Green ammonia production
• Green ammonia production is where the process of making ammonia
is 100% renewable and carbon-free. One way of making green
ammonia is by using hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen
separated from the air.
green ammonia used for:
1_Fuel for engines such as locomotives and shipping, replacing diesel
and marine fuel oil.
2_Fuel source for electricity power generation.
3_Building block to make fertilisers for use in agriculture.

 Safety: Ammonia is highly toxic, flammable and corrosive.
There are also several disadvantages to using green ammonia as a fuel
source for cars.
These include:
• Low temperature combustion: As a low temperature combustion fuel,
green ammonia doesn't produce enough energy for ignition, operation at
low engine loads and/or high engine speed.
• Even though they are both hydrogen- based fuels, green ammonia and
green H2 are usually considered separately from "e-fuels" because no
CO2 is required as part of the production process, in comparison with
other e-fuel types

Methods for Achieving Nitrogen Separation from
Air:
• Fractional Distillation of Liquid Air to Produce Nitrogen:
How do you separate nitrogen from air? By a process called fractional
distillation of liquid air to produce nitrogen. In simple terms,
a four-step process is used:
cool it, isolate the nitrogen, separate it from the air, and then collect it
At the correct low temperature, the nitrogen becomes liquid and can
then be extracted and harvested for industrial processes. Once in its
liquid form,the gases can be transported in tanks,and stored in cylinders

Nitrogen Generators:
• Membrane Nitrogen Generators: Membrane systems have low
operating costs. They are built to separate compressed air through
hollow-fiber membranes. They work by forcing compressed air into
a vessel which selectively permeates oxygen, water vapor, and
other impurities out of its side walls. The nitrogen flows through
the center and emerges as gas.

Green Hydrogen:
• Green hydrogen is produced when water is separated by electrolysis,
which requires passing an electric current through it. Thus, water
molecules separate into hydrogen and oxygen. In this way, hydrogen
can be extracted from the water, and oxygen is released into the air.

It plays a major role in energy transfer and carbon removal in

sectors where this is difficult
 An example of this is :- the field of steel industries ; green hydrogen
can replace coke in the direct reduction process.It can be used in
refineries to gradually replace gray hydrogen.

7
* About 55% of the hydrogen produced around the world is used in
ammonia manufacturing, 25% in refineries, and about 10% for
methanol production. *It is approximately two-thirds of the
hydrogen is produced on site for direct use, so doesn't need to be
transported. *Green hydrogen supports decarbonisation.

Disadvantages are :
1-cost: energy from renewable sources, which are key to generating
green hydrogen through electrolysis, is more expensive to generate,
which in turn makes hydrogen more expensive to obtain.

8
2-High energy consumption: the production of hydrogen in general
and green hydrogen in particular requires more energy
than other fuels.

Safety :
hydroge,n is a highly volatile and flammable element and extensive
safety measures are therefore required to prevent
leakage and explosions.
