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…
The focus of the Fifth Meeting of the Advisory Board on March 11, 2021 was on our project teams CF04 Solid State Ammonia Synthesis, CF06_1 Ammonia Reactor and CF06_2 Ammonia Plant. The project partners presented recent results in the development of thin films, catalysts and reaction technology as well as system modelling of electrolysis processes,…
Green ammonia CF06_2 Project costs: 502 T€ Project period: 05/2020–06/2022 Partners: Objective: The objective of project CF06_2 is to develop a concept for the industrial production of green ammonia with 16 MW installed capacity from wind and solar and 5 MW from electrolysis at a site in the region. The plant will be designed to…
Green ammonia CF06_1 Project costs: 714 T€ Project period: 04/2020–10/2022 Partners: KIT Objective: In project CF06_1, a test laboratory for the development of new systems for decentralised ammonia synthesis is being set up on the YARA premises using the existing infrastructure. The University of Rostock, a project partner, will configure and test three possible types…
Marine propulsion CF09 Project costs: 605 T€ Project period: 10/2020–10/2022 Partners: Objective: The use of ammonia as a new energy source on the Baltic Sea requires a detailed consideration of the Baltic Sea countries, their port structures and shipping connections with northern Germany. In addition to developing potential ammonia-based ferry lines in the Baltic Sea…
Marine propulsion CF08_1 Project costs: 1.279 T€ Project period: 09/2020–08/2022 Partners: Objective: The objective of CF08 projects is to outfit an inland vessel as a ‘test vehicle’ that uses an ammonia-powered internal combustion engine, a process that includes the installation of the necessary tank, safety and peripheral systems onboard the vessel. The ammonia-powered propulsion system…
Marine propulsion CF07 Project costs: 1.470 T€ Project period: 09/2020–08/2022 Partners: Objective: Sailing yachts have always used wind for propulsion. Today, the interior fittings offered by most modern sailing yachts meet high standards and use electrical energy for navigation, safety, secondary propulsion and auxiliary equipment onboard the ship. This energy is provided by fossil-based primary…
In line with our roadmap for research and development in the region of Northeast Germany, cost-optimised production methods for basic innovations are being developed and implemented. This is a prerequisite for establishing decentralised synthesis plants that will produce the carbon-free hydrogen carrier ammonia as an infrastructure and storage solution, as well as emission-free propulsion systems…
Thin films CF05 Project costs: 1.193 T€ Project period: 09/2020–08/2022 Partners: Objective: The consortium for the collaborative project CF05 is developing a quick-start membrane reactor for the production of hydrogen from ammonia. This is a key hydrogen technology for efficient energy conversion in different types of fuel cells and engines in the future. In contrast…
Thin films CF04 Project costs: 1.934 T€ Project period: 06/2020–08/2022 Partners: Kerafol Overview: Integrating new electroceramic thin films into energy systems enables the small-scale implementation of resource-efficient direct and flexible energy conversion processes for ammonia synthesis. In joint project CF04, partners are developing high-performance thin-film-based membrane electrode units (MEA) for the decentralised synthesis of ammonia…
