Promising technology of H2, NH3, oil and gas production.
Promising technology of H2, NH3, oil and gas production February 11, 2026 Abstract. (1) H2O + NH3 = 0.5 N2 + 2.5 H2 + 0.5 O2 + 288 kJ. (2) 2.5 H2 + 0.83 N2 = 1.67 NH3 - (46 * 1.67 = 77 kJ) can be sold as a by-product - electricity by 0.33 - efficiency and USD 0.03/kWh, so (3) If Q is a cost Opex, Q(1.67 - 1 = 0.66 NH3) = 288 * 4 / 3.6 - 77 * 2.5 = USD 124 = 0.66 * 17 ton NH3 = 11.3 ton NH3, so Q(NH3) = USD 124 /11.3 ton = USD 11/ton NH3. Q(2.5 H2) = Q(NH3) * 17, so Q(H) = 11 * 17 / 5 = USD 37 / ton H2. Notes: (1) Renewable energy can be as cheap as about USD 0.004 /kWh. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] etc. (2) 2.5 H2 / 3 = 1.67 mol NH3, here nitrogen can be practically free, being remainder of the air after its oxigen being deleted by negligible share of a fuel: hydrogen or ammonia. (3) Reaction (1) is converting 1 mol of NH3 in 1.67 mol NH3, can be grown exponentially. (4) CO2 + 4 H2 = CH4 + 2H2O - 254 kJ, so Q(CH4) = (220 + 4 * 37 - 254 kJ) / 16 = USD 23 / ton CH4 = USD 16 /1000 m3. Plus ele...
