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…
Thin films CF04_4 Project costs: 750 T€ Project Period: 07/2022–06/2024 Partners: Overview: Water electrolysis is a key technology for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energies. Green hydrogen is considered a promising energy carrier for a sustainable future and is produced by electrolysis using renewable energies. In the CF04_4 project, the innovative approach…
Small projects usually have a limited scope. Our „small“ project CF07_1 demonstrates the core technologies of a complete ammonia maritime drive — hybridised ammonia SOFC, cracker and combustion engine — including control and safety systems. Work on our ammonia-powered yacht was kicked off less than three years ago by nine CAMPFIRE Partners. Their incredibly hard…
The new subproject CF06_6 “Microstructured process-intensified Haber-Bosch reactor” started on January 1st, 2024. 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…
Zukunft Gas provides information with exciting events and digital formats on the topics of green gas, hydrogen, the heating market, infrastructure, mobility and logistics. Jens Wartmann, Head of Strategy and Technology at CAMPFIRE, joined Eric Zindel (Siemens Energy) and Peter Steinmüller (Mainova) at Energie Studio Berlin for an exciting exchange on the current status of…
In order to speed up the decarbonization of shipping, the CF08_2 project is developing an ammonia-powered, containerized inland vessel propulsion system with 350 kW propulsion power and evaluating it ” on-land”. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the propulsion system. To improve the ignition and efficient conversion of the ammonia in the engine, a…
