In April, our second joint project in the product category PK1 CF05_1 “Development of an autothermal, quick-start ammonia membrane reactor based on mixed-conducting thin-film oxygen membranes for optimised processing of ammonia as a carbon-free maritime fuel” started and is funded with ca. 1.2 million € by BMBF WIR over a project duration of 24 months.…
In June, the kick-off meeting of the CAMPFIRE joint project CF07 “Development of the functional model of an ammonia-powered sport yacht with a hybrid system consisting of a solid oxide fuel cell and an engine” of the partners HanseYachts, sunfire, ISC, FVTR, ZBT, IKEM, YARA, autosoft and INP took place. The project is funded with…
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…
On 14 July, we were pleased to spend a very exciting day with the team around Jörg Pfeifer — for a small contribution in the programme Umschau on sailing transport. Jörg Pfeifer is a reporter and coffee fan and travelled for 2 months as part of the crew of the two-masted schooner “Avontuur” — a…
On 9 July, our online partner workshop PK2 “Synthesis of Green Ammonia” took place, also in the form of a web event due to the pandemic restrictions. First, a report was given on the status of the collaborative projects running in the WIR programme — CF06_1 “Development of a decentralised production technology for green ammonia…
On 10 June, we held our online partner workshop in PK1 with the topic “Synthesis of Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Medium Temperature Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis and Utilization”. The focus was first on updates on the results from the ongoing projects CF04_1 “Thin layer based membrane-electrode assemblies for the solid-state ammonia synthesis” and the EU project…
On 1 June 2021, the members of the CAMPFIRE advisory board met for the sixth time in a web meeting. The focus was on the election of the new deputy chairman of the CAMPFIRE advisory board, Dr.-Ing. Frank Graf from the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water at the Karlsruhe Institute of…
The focus of the Fifth Meeting of the Advisory Board on March 11, 2021 was on our project teams CF04 Solid State Ammonia Synthesis, CF06_1 Ammonia Reactor and CF06_2 Ammonia Plant. The project partners presented recent results in the development of thin films, catalysts and reaction technology as well as system modelling of electrolysis processes,…
In line with our roadmap for research and development in the region of Northeast Germany, cost-optimised production methods for basic innovations are being developed and implemented. This is a prerequisite for establishing decentralised synthesis plants that will produce the carbon-free hydrogen carrier ammonia as an infrastructure and storage solution, as well as emission-free propulsion systems…
At the fourth meeting of our advisory board, which was held on 1 October 2020 at Ozeaneum Stralsund, we presented a status update on our joint projects. Together, we considered future opportunities for our consortium. We also discussed an acquisition plan for further implementation and for the creation of the basic tools needed for technology…
