Join us for an Evening with an Energy Expert

Join us on May 20 in Boulder, as we welcome Nick Thorburg with NREL. He will present his Switch session, "A is For Ammonia" in an informal setting. We will also have time for networking, with light appetizers and beverages provided. This event is open to all energy professionals and students.

“A” Is For Ammonia: Why & How Fertilizer May Power The Planet

Ammonia (chemical formula NH3) is so pervasive in our history that human beings simply wouldn't exist without it: 4 billion people on this planet are fed by food grown using ammonia fertilizer, but this powerful molecule consumes nearly 2% of the world's energy supply to be produced at an industrial scale. Explore the energy challenges of ammonia's current means of industrial production, followed by a new vision for its synthesis using only renewable electricity, air, and water, and opportunities to use ammonia as a hydrogen source. Fertilizer may one day fuel more than just our mouths.

Limited to 30 attendees.
