Ammonia is a vital chemical used to make fertilisers that feed a significant portion of the world's population. However, the traditional method of making ammonia is not environmentally friendly, as it consumes a lot of energy and contributes to carbon emissions from the use of fossil fuels.Plasma2X Limited's project addresses this challenge by introducing a ground-breaking approach to produce sustainable, "green" ammonia and fertiliser. This innovative method uses patented plasma and electrocatalysis technology, developed at the University of Liverpool, to create ammonia and fertilisers from air and water. What makes it environmentally friendly is that it operates at normal atmospheric conditions and is powered by renewable energy, avoiding the use of fossil fuels and emitting no harmful carbon dioxide.This project aligns with the UK's commitment to becoming carbon-neutral and supporting the country's journey towards a sustainable future. Its significance goes beyond the environmental benefits: It directly meets the need for sustainable ammonia and fertiliser production, ensuring we can feed the world's population without harming the planet. To prove the viability and scalability of the technology, we're building a demonstrator plant to show how it will work in a real-world environment. This will be carried out in partnership with experts and major players in the industry who share the vision of a cleaner world and can help advance the technology from a promising idea to a practical solution that can benefit everyone.This project would also provide substantial benefits to the UK economy. By commercialising the technology with the help of InnovateUK funding, in the next five years we could generate millions of pounds in revenue, creating dozens of high-skilled jobs in the UK and stimulating growth in various sectors. There is also the potential to make a further positive economic impact by reducing imports and increasing exports of ammonia and fertilisers.In summary, our project is all about a greener, more sustainable way of producing ammonia and fertilisers, making sure we can feed the world without harming the environment. We're excited to be part of this positive change, and with the help of InnovateUK funding, we're taking steps to make it happen.

氨是一种至关重要的化学物质，用于制造肥料，以喂养世界人口的很大一部分。但是，制造氨的传统方法对环保不友好，因为它消耗了大量能量，并通过使用化石燃料而导致碳排放。Plasma2XLimited的项目通过引入突破性的方法来生产可持续的“绿色” Ammonia和肥料，从而解决了这一挑战。这种创新的方法使用在利物浦大学开发的专利等离子体和电催化技术，用空气和水创建氨和肥料。使其对环保的是，它在正常的大气条件下运行，并由可再生能源提供动力，避免使用化石燃料并没有发出有害的二氧化碳。该项目与英国承诺成为碳中性含量并支持该国迈向可持续未来的旅程。它的意义超出了环境利益：它直接满足了对可持续氨和肥料生产的需求，从而确保我们可以在不损害地球的情况下养活世界人口。为了证明该技术的可行性和可扩展性，我们正在建立一个演示厂，以展示它如何在现实环境中工作。这将与行业中的专家和主要参与者合作进行，他们分享了更清洁世界的愿景，并可以帮助将技术从有希望的想法促进可以使每个人受益的实用解决方案。该项目还将为英国的经济带来可观的好处。通过在Innovateuk资助的帮助下，通过商业化这项技术，在接下来的五年中，我们可以产生数百万英镑的收入，在英国创造数十个高技能的工作，并刺激各个部门的增长。还有潜力通过减少进口和增加氨和肥料出口来产生进一步的积极经济影响。总而言之，我们的项目涉及一种生产氨和肥料的更绿色，更可持续的方式，确保我们可以在不损害环境的情况下养活世界。我们很高兴能成为这一积极变化的一部分，在Innovateuk资助的帮助下，我们正在采取步骤实现这一目标。
