- Abstract
Ammonia production is a process critical to modern-day society. It is a main ingredient of the fertilizers that allow the amount of food necessary for the world’s population. The Haber-Bosch process is the primary process used for ammonia synthesis, but it is energy intensive. An example of an electrified plant is designed which only uses renewable energy to drive the reaction through induction heating and capturing any generated carbon by co-producing methanol.
