The EASY project will advance the Atmonia process, a sustainable and intermittent ammonia production process. This process offers an alternative to the carbon-intensive Haber-Bosch (HB) process. Moving from high-pressure high-temperature industrial and continuous HB process, the Atmonia process applies direct electrochemical ammonia synthesis (EAS) from air and water under ambient conditions, thus compatible with intermittent renewable electricity. It’s modular deployment sets a new benchmark for safe, sustainable, and decentralized ammonia production. Building on the Horizon Europe project VERGE, which demonstrated a proof-of-concept NRR-based ammonia production in an electrocatalytic flow cell, EASY will optimize the process parameters in the 10 cm² cell and scale it to a 400 cm² prototype. In parallel, the project will advance separation and concentration units for ammonium sulphate and phosphate and validate agricultural feasibility on an experimental farm. By its conclusion, EASY will deliver system and prepare a business plan and regulatory framework for hybrid market entry into the fertilizers and e-fuels markets.
