Ammonia is as a key ingredient in fertilizers and could one day power the future as clean fuel, but today&#8217;s industrial ammonia production is energy intensive. It consumes about 2% of global energy and releases around 2.4 tons (5,291 lb) of CO2 for every ton (2,204 lb) of ammonia produced, making it the chemical industry&#8217;s top CO2 emitter.<\/p>\n<p>To test their &#8221;Earth factory&#8221; idea, Abate and his team built a rock-water reaction system that mimics Earth&#8217;s subsurface environment. They exposed synthetic iron-rich minerals to nitrogen-laced water, triggering a chemical reaction that oxidized the rock and yielded ammonia, which the team dubbed &#8221;geological ammonia.&#8221; The process required no energy input, emitted no CO2, and even worked under ambient conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The idea&#8217;s economic outlook is encouraging. Producing geological ammonia costs about $0.55 per kilogram (2.2 lb), on par with conventional methods priced at $0.40-$0.80. The research may also open new ways to address wastewater pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2025\/01\/250121125634.htm\">Science Daily<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-654\/\">We can make fertilizer more efficiently under the surface of the Earth<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15574,575,7560],"class_list":["post-136760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ammonia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fertilizer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136760\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
