On-Shore NH3 Refueling System CF10_3 Project duration: 04/2021–03/2024 Partners: Aim of project: In order to take over ammonia imports as base load supply for large consumers, a shore-side transhipment facility for the future supply of ships (loading of transport ships as well as bunkering of ammonia-fueled ships) is designed in the subproject CF10_3 of the…
Ammonia to hydrogen fueling station CF10_4 Project duration: 01.04.2022 to 30.03.2025 Partners: Associated Partners: Aim of project: The research project has the goal of developing a plant for the production of hydrogen suitable for refueling from green ammonia. Cost-effective fine purification technologies for the product gas optimization of NH3 crackers are thus an important key…

Ammonia Marine Engine CF08_2 Project duration: 04/2021–03/2024 Partners: Aim of Project: On the way to implementing the energy transition, shipping must also be transformed into an emission-free and climate-neutral area of mobility. The use of “green” ammonia as a carbon-free fuel offers the potential to contribute to achieving this goal for future shipping. Against this…
In April, our second joint project in the product category PK1 CF05_1 “Development of an autothermal, quick-start ammonia membrane reactor based on mixed-conducting thin-film oxygen membranes for optimised processing of ammonia as a carbon-free maritime fuel” started and is funded with ca. 1.2 million € by BMBF WIR over a project duration of 24 months.…
On 1 June 2021, the members of the CAMPFIRE advisory board met for the sixth time in a web meeting. The focus was on the election of the new deputy chairman of the CAMPFIRE advisory board, Dr.-Ing. Frank Graf from the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water at the Karlsruhe Institute of…
On 10 June, we held our online partner workshop in PK1 with the topic “Synthesis of Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Medium Temperature Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis and Utilization”. The focus was first on updates on the results from the ongoing projects CF04_1 “Thin layer based membrane-electrode assemblies for the solid-state ammonia synthesis” and the EU project…
On 9 July, our online partner workshop PK2 “Synthesis of Green Ammonia” took place, also in the form of a web event due to the pandemic restrictions. First, a report was given on the status of the collaborative projects running in the WIR programme — CF06_1 “Development of a decentralised production technology for green ammonia…
In June, the kick-off meeting of the CAMPFIRE joint project CF07 “Development of the functional model of an ammonia-powered sport yacht with a hybrid system consisting of a solid oxide fuel cell and an engine” of the partners HanseYachts, sunfire, ISC, FVTR, ZBT, IKEM, YARA, autosoft and INP took place. The project is funded with…
On 14 July, we were pleased to spend a very exciting day with the team around Jörg Pfeifer — for a small contribution in the programme Umschau on sailing transport. Jörg Pfeifer is a reporter and coffee fan and travelled for 2 months as part of the crew of the two-masted schooner “Avontuur” — a…
