Winner: 2023 Environment, Sustainability and Energy Horizon Prize: John Jeyes Prize
Monash Ammonia Team
For the development of a highly selective electrochemical process for sustainable production of ammonia from nitrogen and renewable energy at close to ambient conditions, suitable for distributed production of fertilisers.
The Monash Ammonia team is a group of electrochemists who have discovered a process by which ammonia can be produced sustainably at near ambient pressures, using just renewable energy, nitrogen from the air, and room temperature water. The team is now working with spin-out company, Jupiter Ionics, to scale up the process.
