But what seemed ingenious a hundred years ago is running into problems in 2016. The Haber-Bosch process burns natural gas (3 percent of the world’s production) and releases loads of carbon (3 ...

The chemical industry alone accounts for 8% of the world-wide CO 2 emissions ... Operando probing of the surface chemistry during the Haber–Bosch process. Nature, 2024; 625 (7994): 282 DOI: 10. ...

A phosphonium salt speeds the delivery of protons and boosts the performance of an electrochemical Haber-Bosch process to record levels (Science, 2021 DOI: 10.1126/science.abg2371). The Haber ...

There’s a good chance you owe your existence to the Haber-Bosch process. This industrial chemical reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen produces ammonia, the key ingredient to synthetic fertilizers ...

2017, DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aao4710). Dinitrogen molecules contain one of the strongest known chemical bonds. To break those bonds, the Haber-Bosch process must run at temperatures above 400 °C.

WASHINGTON, June 26, 2023 — Billions of people rely on a single, hundred-year-old chemical reaction every day: the Haber-Bosch process. This simple, short reaction consumes 1% of the world’s energy ...
