The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of North Dakota’s (UND) Energy & Environmental Research Center (hereafter ‘EERC’) to develop a method for the synthesis of ammonia with a reduced energy input requirement. A low pressure process would be developed using nitrogen and hydrogen gas as feed sources, and electricity, in a high temperature proton exchange membrane.
