DESCRIPTION

KEYNOTE SPEECH 2014 Alex Lightman, Chairman, GINET and Everblaze 11th Annual NH3 Fuel Conference, September 22, 2014 ABSTRACT The talk will show why food security is as important as national security, and how the transition from brown NH3 to green NH3 (produced with renewable energy and without carbon) is necessary for food security. This transition will set the stage for green NH3 to be used for energy storage and then a fuel source.

Its Our Time for Action1. Cooperate- Build Alliances combining our fundingskill with your technical ability2. Recognize- Yesterdays Climate Marches world-wide proveaggressive political will to pursue low and no carbon optionsfor fertilizer, renewables storage, and fuels.3. Demonstrate the reality of a 1MW SSAS in a public forum4. Publish the data from a functioning 1MW SSAS Reactor 7. Its Our Time for Action5. Build a 20MW SSAS Reactor, preferably in Iowa, where it willattract the attention of leading contenders for both the Democratic (HRC)and the Republican Nomination (not all candidates knownexcept to me!)6. Produce commercial quantities of NH3 via SSAS for fertilizer,molecular batteries, farm equipment, cars, and public transport.7. Change policies in the US and other nations to list NH3 as a fuel8. Convert all ammonia production from Haber-Bosch to SSASsaving 15 tons of CO2 with each ton of NH3 generated,thereby preventing 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide
