Campfire in TransHyDE

The three hydrogen lead projects are a central contri­bu­tion of the Federal Ministry of Educa­tion and Rese­arch (BMBF) to the imple­men­ta­tion of the National Hydrogen Stra­tegy. Taken toge­ther, they repre­sent the largest funding initia­tive of the Federal Ministry of Educa­tion and Rese­arch on the subject of the energy tran­si­tion and provide a decisive impetus for Germany’s entry into the hydrogen economy. https://www.wasserstoff-leitprojekte.de/leitprojekte/transhyde. H2Giga is dedi­cated to the mass produc­tion of water elec­tro­ly­sers, H2Mare explores possi­bi­li­ties to produce hydrogen and its down­stream products directly at sea using wind turbines, and Trans­HyDE deve­lops, evaluates and demons­trates hydrogen trans­port tech­no­lo­gies, because without a suitable trans­port infra­struc­ture the hydrogen economy cannot func­tion. The imple­men­ta­tion project CAMFIRE in Trans­HyDE is testing the poten­tial of ammonia as a hydrogen trans­port option and rese­arch inter­faces to bind hydrogen in ammonia for trans­port and subse­quent re-extra­c­tion. Camp­fire tests demons­tra­tors for the centra­lised and decen­tra­lised use of ammonia as well as logi­stics struc­tures for ammonia import and distribution.
