Haber–Bosch uses about 1–2% of world energy and emits over 1% of global CO2. Nitrogenase enzymes do it at room temperature. Electrochemical routes are promising, but many reported results were later traced to contamination, so the field adopted strict isotope-labeling protocols.
What would settle it
15N isotope-labeled yield under a standard protocol
