Thrust 3

CASFER Thrust 3 researchers are developing catalytic strategies for the synthesis of NBFs using local nitrogen sources and renewable electricity via distributed, modular reactors.

 

Researchers are addressing gaps related to

1. Selectively reduce N-based precursors in complex waste media to increase local NBF production circularity;
    

2. Decrease N2-to-ammonia reactor start-up and shutdown times to match the operational availability of intermittent renewable energy;
    

3. Develop safe and energy-efficient NBF storage and facile on-demand release methods.
