Ammonia Production via Electrochemical Reduction of Nitrogen - MACAROON

Project summary

Rationale/Needs to be Addressed:
The MACAROON project addresses the urgent need for decentralized, zero-emission ammonia production.

Objectives:
MACAROON employs a bottom-up approach to materials design that aims to overhaul the current state-of-the-art (SoA) electrochemical ammonia production technologies to deliver decentralized, green ammonia production with increased energy efficiency, increased ammonia production rates, and increased sustainability through reduced reliance on critical raw materials.

Potential Applications:
Green ammonia is important for several applications, including its use as a zero-emission fuel for transportation and the sustainable production of nitrogen-based fertilizers.

Impact and Potential Benefits:
MACAROON will deliver scientific excellence, industrial innovation, and societal benefits, including reduced dependence on fossil-based ammonia, improved energy security, and strengthened European leadership in sustainable energy technologies.
