Decarbonizing the Impossible! Fantastic days at up north at the Demo North summit. We are so grateful to Mox Murugan and his colleguages at Invest in Norrbotton. We met such an amazing group of businesses, investors and innovators as well as politicians forming a strong task force to speed up decarbonisation. The global climate crisis…
In addition to the future import of the hydrogen carrier ammonia, decentralized ammonia plants are needed that can efficiently produce green ammonia from fluctuating renewable energy on a small to medium scale. In the future, ammonia farms can cover peak loads and achieve economic operation at an intermediate number of full-load hours of use. In…
Fellow knowers wanted! Ammonia is a fantastic energy storage and carbon-free fuel, but most people know it more as a chemical feedstock for fertilizer production and the building materials industry. At the Long Night of Knowledge 2022 organized by Sphinx ET Agency for Zeitgeist Development, a task force on population acceptance of green ammonia was…
In a first face-to-face event in 2022 at the Estrel Berlin, the CAMPFIRE Advisory Board and representatives of the Project Management Jülich met with members of the Strategy Team. The exchange focused on the increasing entrepreneurial focus of the Alliance in the second phase of implementation with cornerstones CAMPFIRE Open Innovation Labs in Poppendorf and…
In March, the CAMPFIRE alliance of the North-East region successfully completed the interim evaluation by a jury of experts as part of the BMBF program “WIR!-Change through Innovation in the Region. A further budget of 6 million euros was made available to the partners for this purpose. This means that CAMPFIRE technology development and an…
Within the CAMPFIRE project, an electrolyzer and an ammonia synthesis plant, each supplied with renewable energy from wind energy and solar plants, are to be constructed. Against this background, IKEM analyzes the legal requirements for this plant combination in a newly published study within the subproject CF06_2.4 and examines whether privileges or even exemptions from…
During an online event, the CAMPFIRE advisory board, representatives of the BMBF and PtJ, and members of the strategy team met to discuss the status of plans for the CAMPFIRE Open Innovation Lab on the industrial site of YARA Rostock at the Poppendorf location.

On January 12, 2022, the kick-off meeting for our project “GreenBalticCruising” of the joint partners Carnival Maritime, Port Rostock, IKEM, ZBT and INP as well as the associated partners DNV and ISC took place in form of an online conference. The use of the new energy carrier ammonia on the Baltic Sea requires a detailed…
Our now third partner workshop in the product category “Emission-free Martime Drives”, focused on the one hand on innovative drive concepts and further on the regulatory framework and safety aspects for ammonia. Very inspiring was the kick-off contribution of Peter de Vos, TU Delft, Netherlands, on SOFC-ICE combined hybrid systems for use as the future…
