Production of green ammonia from thermolyzer gas

A method for converting a waste source into green ammonia and Clean Fuel gas comprising:

• thermolyzing a waste source in a thermolysis system;
• wherein the thermolysis system comprises a primary reactor and at least a secondary reactor, said reactors having a process temperature between about 300° C.-1000° C., at least two gas scrubbers, an oil/water separator, and an oil/tar cracker;
• destroying and/or removing toxic compounds comprising inorganic and/or organic preservatives present in the waste source;
• generating outputs of the thermolysis system comprising Clean Fuel Gas, Char and/or Biochar, wherein the reactors generate tars and oils which are thereafter separated from the Clean Fuel Gas in the gas scrubbers, thereafter, cracked in the oil/tar cracker, and sent back to the secondary reactor to generate more of the Clean Fuel Gas and no tars and oils remain in the outputs, wherein the Clean Fuel Gas comprises hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane and is substantially-free of halogenated organic compounds;
• separating hydrogen from the Clean Fuel Gas;
• and
• reacting the separated hydrogen with nitrogen (N2) to produce ammonia (NH3),
• wherein the waste source comprises a treated wood waste source that includes at least one of railroad ties, cross ties, RR crossing roadways, telephone poles, utility poles, cross arm members, bridge timbers, decking, walkways, dock timbers and wharf pilings, lake and ocean pier/pilings, landscaping timbers and edging, treated outdoor engineering structural and other reinforced wood composites, and/or other treated wood materials, and where the treated wood waste source comprises at least 20 wt-% chemical preservatives comprising one or more of creosote, chlorinated phenols, borates, copper, zinc, chromium or arsenic-containing preservatives.
