> > This can be replaced with thermal water splitting from nuclear power > How so? If you hear water above ~800 Celsius it'll split into hydrogen and oxygen. A catalyst can make this happen at lower temperatures. Nuclear power can heat water, run it through this catalyst, to produce hydrogen. Electrolysis is no doubt more expensive than steam reformation, but the point is that alternatives do exist and can be done if enough investments are made. "Sustainable fertilizers" fundamentally needs some source of nitrogen. The amount we can get from manure is nowhere near sufficient, so carbon neutral replacements to steam reformation are needed. In short, electrolysis and thermal water splitting are the answer to the question, "how do we get sustainable fertilizers?" |
