A process and system for electrolytic production ammonia. The process comprises feeding gaseous nitrogen to an electrolytic cell, where it comes in contact with a cathode electrode surface, wherein said surface has a catalyst surface comprising a nitride catalyst, said electrolytic cell comprising a proton donor, and running a current through said electrolytic cell, whereby nitrogen reacts with protons to form ammonia. The process and system of the invention uses an electrochemical cell with a cathode surface having a catalytic surface which is preferably charged with one or more of Vanadium nitride, Chromium nitride, Zirconium nitride, Niobium nitride, Iron nitride or Osmium nitride. |
