Element One a company focused on emerging hydrogen technologies have partnered with University of Newcastle’s Laureate Professor Behdad Moghtaderi to deliver a project titled: AMMONIAC: A Chemical Looping-Based Process for Production of Green Ammonia.

AMMONIAC will be a multi-phase project concerned with the production of green ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and one that Laureate Professor Moghtaderi said will have impact on a global scale.

Phase one of AMMONIAC will focus on the development and validation of a proof-of-concept prototype while phase two will be dedicated to the construction commissioning and operation of a 10 tonne/day reference plant at a site in Queensland.
