We calculated how much it costs to reduce one ton CO₂ emissions by using a novel electrolytic ammonia production technology to replace conventional ammonia production in three different sectors in Canada, i.e., fertilizer, hydrogen domestic use and hydrogen export. The work is now open-access in Applied Energy.

Greener production group celebrates our graduates and friends in the Spring convocation

The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of Swayam's samples are now on display on the wall outside the TEM room in Quantum-Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF). Please go check it out in person! (photo credit: Nicki Shaw)

Greener Production Group is part of the Department of Energy (DOE, US) University Consortium: An Equitable, Affordable & Resilient Nationwide Energy System Transition (EARNEST).

We studied the potential economic and environmental benefits of using idling fuel cell electric trucks to generate electricity in the peak demand hours. Learn about our work about FCEV to grid.

Daniel has successfully finished his MASc thesis. You can read his thesis "Analysis of the Economic and Carbon Emission Reduction Potential of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle-to-Grid in Alberta and Ontario."

Congratulations to Soukaina on successfully defending her MASc thesis! Her thesis title is "Development of a Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis Framework for Renewable Ammonia Production in Canada and Transport to Germany." It is a collaborative work with National Research Council Canada and RWTH Aachen University. 

Aamer's paper titled "Current Research on Gaseous Ammonia Detecting and Capture Technologies" is now online in the Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health. If ammonia is used as an energy carrier broadly, we need to develop better technologies to detect and capture the leaked ammonia. More information can be found in the article.  

Waterloo News featured our group's work on hydrogen and ammonia. You can find more information in the full article.

In the 2023 IEEE the 11th International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE 2023), XiaoYu presented an invited talk on evaluating hydrogen infrastructure in a Canadian municipality. Daniel also presented his work on understanding the economic and CO2 reduction potential of the concept of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle-to-grid.
