CF08_2 NH3 Marine Engine Update, 01. October, 2025

Within the CAMPFIRE network, an inter­di­sci­pli­nary consor­tium is deve­lo­ping a propul­sion concept for inland waterway vessels based on ammonia as part of the CF08_2 rese­arch project: “NH3 Ship Engine.” The propul­sion system consists of a high-speed combus­tion engine powered by ammonia, which drives a gene­rator. To improve igni­tion and the effi­cient conver­sion of ammonia in…

Milestone CF08_2, 15. September 2025

ery proud of our part­ners of the CAMPFIRE CF08_2 consor­tium who reached an important mile­stone in the deve­lo­p­ment of a simu­la­tion model for the utiliza­tion of an ammonia-powered hybrid drive based on an ammonia cracker-ICE and battery system, for a typical inland waterway ship­ping route of our func­tional model „Odin“ of Spetrans GmbH to be…

Successful installation of a innovative gas purification system for future NH3-powered hydrogen filling station by CAMPFIRE CF10_4 project team, 24. March 2025

The CAMPFIRE project CF10_4 aims to develop a plant for produ­cing ultra­pure hydrogen for refue­ling from a supply of green ammonia. NH3 crackers typi­cally produce a mixture of H2 and N2 that still contains traces of NH3. In order to use the hydrogen in fuel cells, it is, however, neces­sary to remove the nitrogen and…

New IKEM & DNV Paper of the CAMPFIRE Alliance — Liability issues in the event of uncontrolled release of ammonia into water, 02. July 2025

A legal frame­work and insu­ra­bi­lity are urgent prere­qui­sites to enable the market intro­duc­tion of green ammonia as a fuel and elastic energy storage. This fanta­stic paper by CAMPFIRE part­ners Judith Schäfer-Gend­risch and Frie­de­rike Allolio from IKEM — Insti­tute for Climate Protec­tion, Energy and Mobi­lity and Juryk Henrichs from DNV discusses issues of liabi­lity in the…

CAMPFIRE Partner Workshop 2025 at Potsdam, 01. — 02. July 2025

Our CAMPFIRE partner work­shop took place this year in Potsdam at the beau­tiful Lake Templin. Two very exci­ting days during which our part­ners explored current deve­lo­p­ments in the field of green ammonia and deve­loped new paths for the CAMPFIRE roadmap. Topics included the decen­tra­lized produc­tion of ammonia inclu­ding the coupling with water desa­li­na­tion and solar…

CAMPFIRE partners IKTS and MASTON reach milestone in EU project HiPowAR, 11. June 2025

An important mile­stone for our project: 300 membranes were successfully produced by our partner Fraun­hofer IKTS in Herms­dorf for the membrane reactor for the self-compres­­sing combus­tion of ammonia! Thanks to the inno­va­tive reactor design of our partner Maston AB, the membrane inserts can be changed quickly for flexible testing of diffe­rent membrane geome­tries. In total,…
