The Johns Hopkins University received a $608,871 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041) effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031. This project will develop and validate a decentralized bioelectrochemical process for ammonia production using nitrogen-fixing bacteria stimulated by electrical currents. The primary deliverables include experimental characterization studies, metabolic modeling research, and a functional reactor prototype designed for small-scale, on-farm fertilizer production. Research outputs will identify the regulatory mechanisms by which electrochemical stimulation enhances ammonia synthesis and secretion in nitrogen-fixing bacteria, establishing the scientific foundation for a low-energy alternative to conventional high-temperature, high-pressure ammonia synthesis methods. As an integrated educational component, Johns Hopkins will partner with Baltimore Polytechnic High School to construct and deploy the bioelectrochemical reactor on the school's campus. High school students will receive hands-on training to operate the equipment and utilize ammonia produced by the reactor to fertilize an on-campus garden, thereby delivering both workforce development and practical demonstration of the technology. This educational collaboration will support the NSF Engineering program's emphasis on integrating research with workforce development while providing field-validation data to advance the commercialization pathway for decentralized bioelectrochemical ammonia production.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
