What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

State-run V O Chidambaranar (VOC) Port located in Tamil Nadu has become the first port in India to handle green ammonia with the arrival of 20-inch tank containers loaded with the fuel from the Port of Damietta in Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Green Ammonia?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ammonia is a pungent gas that is widely used to make agricultural fertilisers.Green ammonia production is where the process of making ammonia is 100% renewable and carbon-free.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process:<\/b> One way of making green ammonia is by using hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen separated from the air.These are then fed into the Haber process (also known as Haber-Bosch), all powered by sustainable electricity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 In the Haber process, hydrogen and nitrogen are reacted together at high temperatures and pressures to produce ammonia, NH3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the uses of Green Ammonia?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Energy storage: <\/b>Ammonia is easily stored in bulk as a liquid at modest pressures (10-15 bar) or refrigerated to -33\u00b0C. This makes it an ideal chemical store for renewable energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zero-carbon fuel: <\/b>Ammonia can be burnt in an engine or used in a fuel cell to produce electricity.When used, ammonia\u2019s only by-products are water and nitrogen.The maritime industry is likely to be an early adopter, replacing the use of fuel oil in marine engines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Direct usage of Green Ammonia in the fertilizer industry: <\/b>Green Ammonia can directly replace Grey Ammonia currently used in fertilizer plants without requiring any changes to existing infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
