Based on a thorough review of literature, a number of major apparent deficiencies in sustainable ammonia production technologies are described in Introduction and elaborated in Addressing Problems Associated With Current Renewable Technologies for Ammonia Production. Energy content of various fuels in liquid state (Giddey et al., 2013). Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. (2018). This process is more compatible for distributed ammonia production in local farms and ammonia can be produced constantly at atmospheric pressure through this method. However, the recirculation rate is the highest when compared to the other studies. compared the trade-off between ammonia production and electricity generation for three different types of feedstock and different results were obtained. Efficient and economical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that could underpin a hydrogen economy, based on green hydrogen.A version of water splitting occurs in photosynthesis, but hydrogen is not produced.The reverse of water Eng. Hydrogen production by immobilized R. faecalis RLD-53 using soluble metabolites from ethanol fermentation bacteria E. harbinense B49. Two mature technologies, SMR and water electrolysis, both coupled with Haber-Bosch and powered by renewable technologies are compared in this study. 14, 761785. (2016) emphasized primarily on energy efficiency. A review of dark fermentative hydrogen production from biodegradable municipal waste fractions. Globally, 72% of the hydrogen manufactured for ammonia production is from the SMR process and 26% is derived from coal (IEA, 2012; Kevin Breen, 2012). According to the United Nations (UN), the worlds population will increase to more than 9billion in the next 35years (FAO, 2009). This reactor also adds cost. Furthermore, peptide functionalized catalysts were developed and tested in an Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM)-based system. Front. (2015). Ammonia is produced in large plants (1,000 to 1,500t/day) by means of Haber-Bosch process (Soloveichik, 2017a). (2014). doi:10.3390/environments5020024, Michael, M., Alhajji, M., and Demirel, Y. This process is comprised of: Seawater desalination, hydrogen gas production, nitrogen separation, ammonia synthesis, and ammonia storage. Water scarcity and its limits to economic growth. (2015). Life-cycle analysis of water consumption for hydrogen production. Denmark: AZO cleantechAvailable at: URL: https://www.azocleantech.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=656 (Accessed January 05, 2020). This growth will at the same time result in higher waste production. Science 282, 98100. Ammonias energy density is 4.32kWh/liter, which is similar to methanol (CH3OH), and approximately double that of liquid hydrogen (Soloveichik, 2017b). Environ. Technol. In chemistry, photocatalysis is the acceleration of a photoreaction in the presence of a catalyst. Eng. The challenges and future perspectives are proposed and analyzed for the anion-mixed water dissociation catalysts, Better crops with plant food in International plant nutrition institute (IPNI). According to WVU (2016), this method differs from both electrochemical conversion processes such as Solid State Ammonia Synthesis (SSAS) and catalytic processes such as the Haber-Bosch process. (2013), ammonia is a weak base which can react with acidic membranes such as Nafion resulting in a reduction in proton conductivity. Wilson, I. An experimental reactor at Rice University employs a ruthenium-based anode to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without the need for expensive iridium.

Frattini, D., Cinti, G., Bidini, G., Desideri, U., Cioffi, R., and Jannelli, E. (2016). Kordali, V., Kyriacou, G., and Lambrou, C. (2000). (2016). into important chemical compounds such as ammonia can be a new resource recovery alternative for fossil-based chemicals. Morgan et al. Energy. Photocatalysis However, unlike hydrogen, ammonia is not typically explosive. The system boundary by Tallaksen and Reese in their study for ammonia production powered by wind was comprised of wind power, water electrolyzer, hydrogen compression, nitrogen separation/compression, ammonia production, and ammonia storage (Matzen et al., 2015). Environ. Res. Technol. Enhancing the hydrogen yield from 4mol H2/mol glucose to 12mol H2/mol glucose can give the hydrogen production yields as shown in Eq. Anaerobic digestion is a continuous biochemical process in which complex substrates are decomposed and digested via microbial actions and converted into biogas (Pengyu et al., 2017). In this work, a systematic review was performed based on a formulated research question: How to produce ammonia in a sustainable manner? The research topics were classified in three main categories: 1) Finding the most sustainable pathways for hydrogen production required for ammonia synthesis 2) Finding sustainable new emerging ammonia production technologies 3) The challenges associated with sustainable hydrogen/ammonia production. Energ. Various hydrogen production routes. Pilot scale comparison of single and double-stage thermophilic anaerobic digestion of food waste. Studies on hydrogen-methane fermentation process for treating garbage and waste paper, in ADSW 2005 Conference Proceedings. The system boundary for the LCA differs in the two studies. As a result, it can be implemented even in locations without accessibility to an intensive light source and the high costs associated with halogen lamps. Loney, C., Graybill, A., Xu, C., Renner, J., Acharya, P., Suttmiller, D., et al. These temperature ranges are: Mesophilic (operate at temperatures in the range of 2540C), thermophilic (operate at temperatures in the range of 4070C), extreme thermophilic (operate at temperatures in the range of 6580C), and hyperthermophilic (operate at temperatures higher than 80C). However, abundant challenges with this approach have thus far limited such particle-based reactors to prohibitively low efficiencies. (2013) also state that at low temperatures, ammonia production from nitrogen and hydrogen is spontaneous and, as a result, the minimum voltage needed is negative, meaning that there is no need to apply a voltage. The former consumes less water while having higher GHG emissions and the latter emits less GHGs with higher water consumption. (4) Modularity, which makes these plants suitable for small to medium scale utilization. Biohydrogen production from agricultural and livestock residues within an integrated bioenergy concept. In addition, an assessment of different studies on the environmental performance of ammonia production through LCA has been conducted. The hydrogen production rate for dark fermentation is higher compared to the technologies stated in Table 4. (2013). Using waste heat from advanced nuclear reactors. Although this figure t CO2eq/t of NH3) is lower when compared to the results reported by Arora et al. This figure represents nearly 12% of the global energy supply (Hughes et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2018). A., and Bakht, M. Z. Are we in deep water?

Topical conference: NH3 Energy, in AIChE annual meeting, Minneapolis, October 29November 3, 2017. The most commonly utilized ammonia production method is the Haber-Bosch process. Their study emphasized that GWP will be lowered if biomass is used as the feedstock for ammonia synthesis. More sustainable, lower-carbon pathways for ammonia production described in this study are critical to ensure food security and energy storage in a manner that is compatible with deep decarbonization efforts. However, sustainable routes for its production are needed. With this solution, the discharge of GHG emissions from the use of electricity will be lowered. The critical inputs for electrolysis are electricity and deionized water. Front. According to Soloveichk (2017), the advantages of electrochemical technology compared to thermochemical (Haber-Bosch) are in four major areas: (1) Higher efficiency, which permits energy saving. Sustainable ammonia production from U.S. Offshore wind farms: a techno-economic review. This arrangement of a catalyst with a high temperature within a cool environment results in lower overall reaction temperatures and enhances the energy efficiency. As the efficiency of ammonia production in nature is very high, electrochemists have attempted to utilize these enzymes for industrial applications of ammonia synthesis such as in the study conducted by Loney et al. Parkinson, B., Tabatabaei, M., Upham, D. C., Ballinger, B., Greig, C., Smart, S., et al. 50, 3541.

Solid-state electrochemical synthesis of ammonia: A review. In addition, the snowball technique was used to find further relevant papers through checking the references of the collected papers and assessing these as mentioned above. Reddy (2016) states that temperature is one of the factors that affect the fermentation process which shifts the metabolic pathway to hydrogen production. Int. Energy. They concluded that ammonia has the capability to be produced through an efficient manner using renewable energy sources, leading to an alternative method of a distributed, efficient, and sustainable ammonia production process. The ratio of the treated water required per tonne of ammonia (excluding the water needed for the cooling tower) is approximately 1.6. Identifying greener pathways (low carbon, low water, and low energy usage) for ammonia production is important to ensure food security and its application in energy storage. For more information, see Chapter 5 of the SunShot Vision Study. Bioresour. doi:10.1021/acssuschemeng.7b02070. Renew. This market demand is usually met by pyrolysis of hydrocarbons to produce the hydrogen, which results in CO 2 emissions. (2009). (2018). Kevin Breen, K. B. Bicer, Y. Chem. (2013) carried out an experiment for ammonia production from air and water at ambient temperatures. In a two-stage biohydrogen and biomethane process with household solid waste as substrate operating at 37oC, a hydrogen yield of 43ml/gVS added was accomplished (Liu et al., 2008). The SGP in the second-stage was higher and about 0.88m3 biogas/kg VS compared to the single-phase reactor which was 0.75m3 biogas/kg VS. doi:10.1016/j.ijhydene.2009.12.040, Arora, P., Hoadley, A. F., Mahajani, S. M., and Ganesh, A. (2013) states that air can be used in place of pure nitrogen, although some authors claim that oxygen poisons the catalyst used for the ammonia synthesis process (Marrony, 2015). Evaluation of biohydrogen production potential of sugarcane bagasse using activated sludge in a dark fermentation process. J. Catal. In addition, with the global transition from fossil fuels to variable renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, there is an increasing requirement for energy storage solutions that can cover various timeframes for storing the energy.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN also states that global food production will need to increase by 70% to keep up with the increasing demand due to population growth (UN, 2015). We assessed the two most commonly utilized technologies for ammonia production which are SMR and water electrolysis coupled with Haber-Bosch in terms of GHG emissions, electricity, and water consumption. In photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, hydrogen is produced from water using sunlight and specialized semiconductors called photoelectrochemical materials, which use light energy to directly dissociate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Sustain. If the acetic acid (CH3COOH) is the byproduct of the reaction in Equation 2, a theoretical maximum of 4mol H2/mol glucose will be achieved as (Ghimire et al., 2015; Sen et al., 2008): Furthermore, when butyrate is the sole product in the process, according to reaction in Eq. Both studies conducted by Wang et al. However, the system boundary selected by Arora et al. Sci. [citation needed]As of 2019 fertiliser production and oil refining are the main uses. A comparison of different types of biohydrogen production methods are shown in Table 4. Adv. They made an explicit case for the advantages of electrolytic hydrogen production in comparison to biomass gasification or biogas reformation.

Table 5 shows that SMR coupled with Haber-Bosch process is the most carbon intensive technology with 1.8kg CO2/t NH3 when compared to the other technology. A critical review on factors influencing fermentative hydrogen production. PhD thesis. Among the three different types of biomass, wood has the highest ammonia production rate. Fossil fuels currently supply most of the world's energy needs, and however unacceptable their long-term consequences, the supplies are likely to remain adequate for the next few generations. The aim of this study is to review the literature on conventional and new methods for sustainable ammonia production. In 2016, the amount of ammonia produced was reported to be 146million tonnes globally (Cong et al., 2019). How to feed the world in 2050? (2016) on a system approach in energy evaluation of different renewable energy sources integrated into ammonia production plants. Hydrogen production by fermentative consortia. Peterson, B. However, by comparing energy and mass balance with a two-stage reactor, the final results show that the average methane concentration for the two-phase process was 68% with a Soluble Microbial Products (SMPs) of 351LCH4/kg VS. For the single stage, methane concentration was 55% with 404LCH4/kg VS. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), also known as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, are a type of fuel cell being developed mainly for transport applications, as well as for stationary fuel-cell applications and portable fuel-cell applications.Their distinguishing features include lower temperature/pressure ranges (50 to 100 C) and a special proton Shining Light on Anion-Mixed Nanocatalysts for Efficient Water 5, 95549567. 35 (4), 15951603.

Remote, small-scale, greener routes of ammonia production. This technology is able to address some of the problems associated with the Haber-Bosch process, such as, the high capital costs, fossil fuel usage, etc. Therefore, bioconversion of waste through dark fermentation, photo fermentation, etc. Paris: IFAAvailable at: https://www.fertilizer.org//images/Library_Downloads/2016%20Global%20nitrogen%20fertiliser%20demand%20and%20supply.pdf (Accessed June 20, 2020). 10th Annual NH3 Fuel Conference Annual NH3 Fuel Conference. doi:10.1126/science.282.5386.98, Marnellos, G., Zisekas, S., and Stoukides, M. (2000). There are other studies such as Wang et al. The rationale behind choosing these specific processes is that there is a research gap in available literature in consolidating the evaluation of these technologies for sustainable hydrogen production required for ammonia synthesis. Both studies aim to quantify the costs and advantages of integrating the Haber-Bosch process with a renewable hydrogen feedstock resulting from biomass gasification, electrolysis of water operating by solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear power, and biomass. However, Bicer et al. Commun. The study reported that for the production of 300 tonnes of ammonia, 476 tonnes of distilled water are required. Another pathway to enhance the hydrogen yield of dark fermentation is to couple it with other processes, such as photo-fermentation, methanogenesis, Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC) and Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) (Reddy, 2016; De Gioannis et al., 2013). Ottimizzazione del processo di digestione anaerobica a fasi separate dei rifiuti organici per la produzione di bio-hythane. Szymanski and Gellett (2017) also state that the electrochemical processes are modular and are able to be coupled with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind and also have the capability to function at relatively lower temperatures and pressures compared to the larger scale conventional ammonia production processes. 55, 64226434. Catalysts Ammonia can play the role of a fuel for energy storage as well as its primary use as the main ingredient for fertilizers, transport fuels, and many other applications. These stages are comprised of, hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and acetogenesis. doi:10.1016/j.ijhydene.2014.05.018, Makhlouf, A., Serradj, T., and Cheniti, H. (2015). (Rsc) 7, 1261012619. Furthermore, the methane production in a double-stage process was 21% higher than in conventional one-stage methanogenesis process since it enhanced the hydrolysis of the household waste, which proved to be the main impediment to anaerobic digestion of household solid waste. FAO (2009). (2009) carried out a study to assess the effects of light intensity and light/dark cycle on biohydrogen production with a combination of clostridium butyricum and R. faecalis RLD-53.

The same approach (producing an LCA) was carried out by Tallaksen and Reese (2013) and Arora et al. For sustainable ammonia production, the most widely adopted technology is water electrolysis coupled with renewable technologies such as wind and solar energy to produce the hydrogen. Skodra and Stoukides produced ammonia via steam and nitrogen at temperatures in the range of 450700C using ruthenium as the catalyst supported on silver (Ag) or palladium (Pd) as the cathode. The low operational pressure of this process enables it to be a better fit with renewable energy sources, since the system is reportedly able to be turned on and off easily. Biohydrogen production from biomass and industrial wastes by dark fermentation. TABLE 5. Greening ammonia toward the solar ammonia refinery. Lack of infrared light between 750950nm wavelengths will lower hydrogen production by 39%. Green ammonia. A typical Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) process produces approximately 910 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) for each tonne of hydrogen produced (Parkinson et al., 2018). Carbon quantum dots (CQDs, C-dots or CDs), which are generally small carbon nanoparticles (less than 10 nm in size) with various unique properties, have found wide use in more and more fields during the last few years. U.S. Patent 6051125. Chem. Philiber (2018) points out that liquefying hydrogen is more difficult when compared to ammonia, since ammonia liquefies at 33.4C and at atmospheric pressure: Hydrogen has to be liquefied by chilling to temperatures lower than 253C. 4 is for complete oxidation and is based on theory and not yet applied experimentally. doi:10.4172/2090-4568.1000128, Mehmeti, A., Dimakis, A. Bioconversion of waste through the aforementioned biological technologies into important chemical compounds such as ammonia can be a new resource recovery alternate pathway for fossil-based chemicals. Zilouie, H., and Taherdanak, M. (2015). Ciranna, A. Liu et al. 177, 597609. All three configurations were modeled and compared for utilization of three different types of biomass feedstock: Straw, bagasse and wood, in order to understand the effects of their composition on supply chain, economics, and environmental factors for ammonia production. Introducing renewable ammonia by Thyssenkrupp. Review of electrochemical ammonia production technologies and materials. Explained: greenhouse gases. The remaining 4% is generated from electricity which will include some indirect use of fossil fuels from coal or natural gas electrical generation (Michael et al., 2015). Biotechnol. (2013) specifies that the effect of using pure nitrogen or air (as the nitrogen source) on faradic efficiency has not been reported in any study. Energ. Dark fermentation is a fermentative conversion and versatile bioprocess for production of molecular biohydrogen from various biodegradable renewable feedstocks by means of a wide range of different types of bacteria (Kothari et al., 2017; Yaswanth, 2018). 4 (Sen et al., 2008). J. Hydrog. The increase in the availability of waste, lead us to focus on the use of dark fermentation integrated with other biological technologies that can use waste as their feedstock or a process that can use biogas as its input stream such CH4 assisted-SOFEC/NGASE. (2015). doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.01.148, Arora, P., Sharma, I., Hoadley, A., Mahajani, S., and Ganesh, A. J. Hydrogen Energ. In general, a water electrolyzer requires a continuous supply of pretreated water with high purity levels for its operation. Gross, M. D. (2008). Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature on ammonia production technologies and various hydrogen production processes required for ammonia synthesis. In addition, the state that the conversion and efficiency rates need to be improved as this technology is still in the research and development stage (available on a small scale). Singapore: Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. As reported for the production of a specific amount of ammonia using the same production process, the amount of water depletion when using bagasse is higher compared to using wood as the feedstock. Wijers (2011) also mentions a laboratory test based on SOFEC which showed an 85% decrease in the demand of electrical energy in comparison to the best alternative electrolysis available.
