BMBF Flagship TransHyde Science Conference and Plenary Meeting November 30-December 1, 2022 in Berlin

Two exci­ting days for all part­ners of our CAMPFIRE imple­men­ta­tion project in the BMBF flag­ship TransHyDE!

Prof. Hinrich Mohr, GKE — GasKraft Engi­nee­ring, and Klaas Büsen, Wismar Univer­sity of Applied Sciences, Insti­tute for Inno­va­tive Ship Simu­la­tion and Mari­time Systems (ISSIMS), Depart­ment of Mari­time Plant Engi­nee­ring and Logi­stics, repre­sented the project teams of the CAMPFIRE project lines CF08 Ammonia Inland Vessel and CF10 Ammonia Logi­stics and Infra­struc­tures — Trans­por­ta­tion & Bunke­ring. Hinrich’s presen­ta­tion “Deve­lo­p­ment of an Ammonia-fueled Cracker-Engine-Power Unit for Inland Waterway Ship­ping” focused on the tech­no­lo­gical and regu­la­tory aspects of the retrofit as well as the safety aspects and the status of the deve­lo­p­ment of a mari­time ammonia-fueled propul­sion system based on a cracker engine genset. Our part­ners work on the deve­lo­p­ment of an econo­mical, sustainable and ecolo­gical logi­stics and infra­struc­ture concept for the trans­port of green ammonia and inno­va­tive solu­tions for ammonia refue­ling and bunke­ring was high­lighted by Klaas. The amount of produced green ammonia, green ammonia imports, modes of trans­port, storage faci­li­ties as well as consu­mers were taken into conside­ra­tion. Sector specific demand fore­casts and deve­loped climate scena­rios were also taken into account to give an over­view of future green ammonia infra­struc­ture and supply. Tech­no­lo­gical and safety concepts for ship-to-ship and truck-to-ship bunke­ring as well as demons­tra­tion of an shore-to-ship NH3 bunke­ring plant at the port of Rostock inclu­ding loading, dischar­ging as well as bunke­ring were presented. Further­more, the concept of a NH3-to-H2 high-pres­sure filling station for heavy road vehicles, inclu­ding safety concept, H2 puri­fi­ca­tion and new hand­ling proce­dures was introduced.

It was great to meet and get to know the part­ners of our sister rese­arch alli­ances and our coor­di­na­tors of the BMBF Trans­HyDE lead project in presence. The compre­hen­sive approach of inno­va­tive rese­arch at excel­lence level in Trans­HyDE in close inte­gra­tion with the appli­ca­tion-oriented imple­men­ta­tion projects is impres­sive and inspi­ring. We look forward to another year of produc­tive and colla­bo­ra­tive partnership.
