  • Patent number: 11560306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing ammonia (1), wherein a carbon-containing energy carrier flow (2) and an oxygen flow (3) from an oxygen-producing assembly (4) are fed to a synthesis gas reactor assembly (5) for obtaining a synthesis gas flow (6) with hydrogen and carbon oxides, wherein the synthesis gas flow (6) is fed to an adsorption device (7) for separating the synthesis gas flow (6) into a hydrogen flow (8), which comprises hydrogen, and a purge flow (9), and wherein the hydrogen flow (8) and a nitrogen flow (10) are fed to an ammonia reactor assembly (11) and converted into ammonia (1) there.
