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…
We were celebrating the opening of the Ammonia-to-Power & Power-to-Ammonia test fields that were developed by the CAMPFIRE partners over the past four years within the frame of the flagship project TransHyDE. This is the start of a green ammonia institute joint venture in the metropol region GREATER ROSTOCK that is implemented in Poppendorf as…
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…
Our speaker had the great honour to present the CAMPFIRE partner alliance and the CAMPFIRE EU project HiPowAR at the DARE2X industry and innovation conference with the title: „What can Brussels do for Green Ammonia: EU industry, policy & regulations.“ This question was intensively discussed. There was one clear outcome: ammonia technologies are advanced and…
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…
CAMPFIRE spokeswoman Dr. Angela Kruth and CAMPFIRE partner Maik Bäumer, Inherent Solution Consult (ISC) were able to take part in a great business trip from MV to the city of Esbjerg — organized by Rostock Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Business Esbjerg and led by our State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Affairs,…
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…
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…
Completion of the formation audit and application for entry in the trade register at Rostock High Court — an important milestone for CAMPFIRE AG has been reached. The board members Jens Wartmann and Dr. Angela Kruth would like to thank the supervisory board Gunnar Flemming, Mike Hallmann and Dr. Matthias Boltze as well as the…
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,…
