Supercheap and green hydrogen production
(1) 0.5 N2 + 1.5 H2 = NH3. Enthalpy dH = - 46 kJ. Entropy dS = 76 (J / mol * K). so T 490 C. Here, they are circular thermal splitting the water, so NH3 is practically free, and Opex cost of hydrogen is equal to a cost of energy is used. They are 46 kJ/mol heat in electricity as a by-product + 167 kJ/mol in reaction (2). (167 * 1.1 - 46 * 2.5) * 10^6 = USD 69 /ton H2. Note.Wind and solar energy can be in order of magnitude cheapened.
