Small projects usually have a limited scope. Our „small“ project CF07_1 demonstrates the core technologies of a complete ammonia maritime drive — hybridised ammonia SOFC, cracker and combustion engine — including control and safety systems. Work on our ammonia-powered yacht was kicked off less than three years ago by nine CAMPFIRE Partners. Their incredibly hard…
The new subproject CF06_6 “Microstructured process-intensified Haber-Bosch reactor” started on January 1st, 2024. The production of ammonia from renewable energies is one of the main tasks of the CAMPFIRE alliance. The aim of this sub-project is to expand and optimize a reactor concept for the synthesis of ammonia. The power density of the Haber-Bosch reactor will…
