Abstract
A system for manufacturing ammonia, having an ammonia reactor which is designed to produce ammonia (NH3) from a synthesis gas, the synthesis gas including hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2), further including an electrolizer which is designed to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water, where a compressor is fluidically connected to the electrolizer and is designed to compress the hydrogen (H2) coming from the electrolizer, wherein the compressor is designed to compress transportable hydrogen (H2).
Claims17
A system for manufacturing ammonia, comprising an ammonia reactor which is designed to produce ammonia (NH3) from a synthesis gas, the synthesis gas comprising hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2);
- and
- further comprising an electrolizer which is designed to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water,
- wherein
- a compressor which is fluidically connected to the electrolizer and is designed to compress the hydrogen (H2) coming from the electrolizer, and
- wherein the compressor is designed to compress hydrogen (H2).
A method for manufacturing ammonia, wherein, in an ammonia reactor, ammonia (NH3) is produced from a synthesis gas, the synthesis gas comprising hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2), wherein, in an electrolizer, hydrogen and oxygen are produced using renewable energies, wherein the hydrogen produced in the electrolizer is compressed in a compressor.
