SUSTAINABLE METHOD FOR FERTILISER PRODUCTION

Researchers from the Faculty of Science were awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) prestigious Environment, Sustainability and Energy Horizon Prize: John Jeyes Prize, for developing a sustainable process for producing ammonia at near ambient pressures using renewable energy, nitrogen from the air, and room temperature water.

The Monash Ammonia team’s work contributes towards the development of more sustainable fertilisers, greatly advancing innovation in food production and reducing dependence on traditional nitrogenous fertilisers.
