Funded Activity Summary

Towards Electrochemical Fertiliser Production Powered by Renewable Energy. The electrochemical manufacturing system is a sustainable alternative to traditional fertiliser manufacturing plants. The system can be assembled inexpensively and readily integrated into the renewable electricity grid, solving the greenhouse gas emission issues of the fertiliser plants. This project will identify ground-breaking electrochemical pathways for urea fertiliser and other value-added C-N containing chemicals synthesis. Gaseous CO2 and N2 will be electrochemically reacted to produce the C-N bonds. Therefore, a suite of new materials and electrochemical systems for sustainable fertiliser manufacturing will be developed. It is anticipated that the technology will revolutionise Australian fertiliser manufacturing and agriculture.
