If more ships use green ammonia as an alternative fuel in the future, a corresponding bunker infrastructure must also be created. Ship-to-ship refueling is an option for the flexible supply of seagoing vessels. In the DST sub-project “CF10_2.1 Bunker barge”, a corresponding small bunker vessel was designed for the market ramp-up and tested on…
A very productive and interesting day for CAMPFIRE at the kick-off event for the National Action Plan for Climate-Friendly Shipping at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, organized by NOW GmbH. After an opening by Federal Minister Volker Wissing and State Secretary Udo Philipp from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, the…
Brilliant presentation by our CAMPFIRE partner Annalena Braun of Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) at the 13th Dessauer Gas-Motoren Konferenz, organised by WTZ Roßlau . Annalena presented her outstanding results on development of an ammonia powered cracker-supported marine drive for inland water way shipping. For further details on the project and partners please also visit…
CAMPFIRE Green Ammonia Technologies for Brazil! We had a very exciting time at the Brazilian Northeast: Green Industry & Energy Transition Opportunities event at the Mariott Hotel in Berlin last week. Strong partnerships are the key for decarbonisation of the global energy market and supply chains. Future cooperations will be in innovations and roll-out of…
We had a very nice and productive time at the TransHyDE plenary meeting in Erfurt! The positive vibe and partnership in the exchange and brainstorming for the next phase from 2026 were remarkable. They are a sign of how much the partners have grown together in the phase so far to work together for the…

Legal Framework and acceptance CF11_3 Project costs: 128 T€ Project Period: 04/2023–03/2025 Partners: Overview: The prospect of using ammonia as a fuel and storage medium for hydrogen in shipping, as envisaged in CAMPFIRE, opens up a new area of application for the chemical. Ammonia (NH3) as a maritime fuel is a new field of application…
Green Ammonia CF06_6 Project costs: 1.386 T€ Project Period: 01/2024–12/2025 Partners: Overview: The production of ammonia from renewable energies is one of the main tasks of the CAMPFIRE alliance. The aim of this sub-project is to expand and optimize a reactor concept for the synthesis of ammonia. The power density of the Haber-Bosch reactor will…
Thin films CF04_3 Project costs: 747 T€ Project Period: 05/2022–04/2024 Partners: Overview: Solid-state ammonia synthesis (SSAS) is an attractive electrochemical process that enables the production of ammonia directly from water vapor and nitrogen, classically at temperatures around 450–550 °C. In the Spudnik project, metal-supported membrane electron assemblies (MEAs) are produced for solid-state ammonia synthesis. Metal…
Thin films CF04_2 Project costs: 1.155 T€ Project Period: 09/2023–10/2024 Partners: Overview: Ammonia is one of the most widely utilized chemicals in the world and is currently produced from fossil fuels using the Haber-Bosch process. This process is responsible for 1.5 % of global carbon dioxide emissions. However, given the need to reduce the associated…
