Project summary description:
The project aims to produce on-demand low-carbon hydrogen from agricultural biomass as well as advancing renewable hydrogen technologies. By integrating biocatalyst technology with nanocatalytic green ammonia processes, a modular reactor solution is planned for the on-farm production of ammonia fertiliser. The project aims to establish a market for on-farm biomass-to hydrogen and ammonia production for the agricultural sector.
