News Summary

• Ammonia is one of the most critical industrial chemicals due to its use in nitrogen-based fertilizers that support the global food system.
• ammonia production is energy-intensive and is currently responsible for nearly one percent of global CO₂ emissions.
• Copernic and Schrödinger have initiated work on their next joint project, designing a selective ethylene oxide (EO) catalyst.
• Designing an EO catalyst with optimized selectivity would maximize EO yield while minimizing feedstock losses and carbon emissions.
