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…
18 September 2020. On 18 September 2020, we conducted a web-based partner workshop for product category 3, ‘Zero-emission marine propulsion systems’. At the workshop, the roughly 30 partners exchanged information on topics including the energy transition in inland navigation, batteries for marine applications, supply infrastructures, ammonia bunkering and safety. As a special highlight of the…
11 September 2020. On 11 September 2020, our online partner workshop for product category 2, ‘Green ammonia’, was held remotely via the web conferencing platform BigBlueButton. Following keynote speeches on global developments in the subject areas of green ammonia, catalysts for ammonia synthesis and the use of micro process technology for process intensification, the roughly…
On 26 June 2020, we visited the ammonia bunker ship of our new partner, SPETRANS Schiffahrts– und Speditionskaufmann GmbH, a small shipping and freight forwarding company headquartered in Uetersen, Schleswig-Holstein. SPETRANS operates a special ship with the capacity to transport up to 150 tonnes of ammonia, which is used to treat exhaust gas at a…
