Jupiter Ionics – scaling Lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction for Green Ammonia
Presentation

The Lithium-mediated pathway is one of the most promising avenues to Green Ammonia production at near-ambient temperatures and pressures, lending itself to a more decentralized production model than traditional chemistries. In this talk Dr Day will provide an update on the scale-up and commercialization of Jupiter Ionics’ electrochemical ammonia process, which builds on the foundational research of Prof Douglas Macfarlane at Monash University.

Licensor selection picking up for renewable ammonia synthesis loops
Article

One of the key steps in project development is the selection of the licensor for the renewable ammonia synthesis loop. For renewable ammonia projects, licensors including KBR, Topsoe, Thyssenkrupp Uhde, Casale, and Stamicarbon offer a range of technologies and services covering small to large-scale ammonia production. We explore these different technology offerings, as well as the growing list of projects where they are being deployed.

Kenya: reducing imports with local, renewable fertilizer production
Article

Kenya aims to substitute 50% of current, ammonia-based fertilizer imports with locally-produced alternatives, based on the production of electrolytic hydrogen. New guidelines from Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority set carbon intensity thresholds for “green” hydrogen and ammonia, as well as the incentives on offer for project developers. The new launch follows commitments to promote local fertilizer production made by heads of state at the Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit. We also explore two existing renewable projects in Kenya from Maire Tecnimont and Talus Renewables.

Talus Renewables: modular, renewable fertilizers in Kenya & Iowa
Article

US-based Talus Renewables has deployed its modular, containerised ammonia & fertiliser production system in Kenya. Solar power and water will be utilised to produce one tonne per day of fertilizer for the Kenya Nut Corporation, with multiple, larger plants already planned. The system will also be deployed in the US for the Iowa-based Landus Cooperative.
