VERGE

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ammonia fertiliser production and maritime fuel consumption represent between 1 % and 3 % of total emissions. Synthesising ammonia with renewable energy can replace existing fertiliser production, deliver an energy carrier for the emerging eFuel market, and contribute to the EU transition to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In this context, the EU-funded VERGE project will develop a distributed renewable energy technology based on directly utilised intermittent renewable energy that produces liquid ammonia from air and water. The project will create knowledge and scientific proof of the technical feasibility of this innovative technology. This will form the basis for economic, sociological and environmental optimisation.
