The objective of the present invention is to provide a method which can efficiently produce ammonia at low temperature and low pressure and which can respond flexibly to an unsteady electrical power supply condition. In addition, the objective of the present invention is to provide a catalyst which is excellent in activity for synthesizing ammonia and which is used in a method for efficiently producing ammonia without regard to supply condition and supply location of electrical power. The method for synthesizing ammonia according to the present invention is characterized in that a reactor for synthesizing ammonia is used, and the reactor has a pair of electrodes, a voltage applying means for applying voltage between the electrodes, a catalyst between the electrodes, a raw material gas inlet port, and an ammonia-containing gas discharge port, and comprising the steps of introducing at least nitrogen and hydrogen as a raw material gas into the reactor for synthesizing ammonia, and applying a voltage to the electrodes of the reactor for synthesizing ammonia, wherein electrical discharge does not occur by the voltage. |
