J-WAFS PI Karthish Manthiram has devised a way to electrochemically produce ammonia from nothing more than air and water

The ammonia synthesizing device built by the Mathiram Lab research team

A team of MIT chemical engineers, led by Karthish Manthiram are breaking ground in ammonia synthesis technologies. Their work, featured in The Chemical Engineer, could reduce emissions associated with producing ammonia and enable decentralized-production for farmers in remote areas. Read more here.

How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ammonia production

MIT Energy Initiative
MIT researchers have proposed an approach for combined blue-green ammonia production that minimizes waste products and, when combined with some other simple upgrades, could reduce the greenhouse emissions from ammonia production by as much as 63 percent, compared to the leading “low-emissions” approach being used today.
