Catalsys has developed a novel reactor technology to "crack" (green) ammonia into (green) hydrogen at the point of use. This hydrogen will have multiple uses in the clean energy transition. Our reactor is modular and each module will produce 1 tonne/day of hydrogen - the scale required at (for example) a bus or truck depot.Ammonia is becoming the favoured means of transporting hydrogen, as the costs of transporting gaseous or liquid hydrogen are simply too high. But there then remains the problem of efficiently converting the ammonia back to hydrogen, which is what our reactor does.We are aware of competitors developing large scale, centralised ammonia crackers for use in large ports etc, but this still leaves the problem of transporting hydrogen to the ultimate point of use. Economic analysis shows that it is best to keep the hydrogen in the form of ammonia (which is much more easily transported) until the last possible moment and then crack it to hydrogen at the point of use.In this funded project we will design the integration of our reactor with a purification system such that the hydrogen produced will be suitable for fuel cell transport applications.

Catals在使用时开发了一种新型的反应堆技术，将（绿色）氨开发到（绿色）氢中。该氢在清洁能量过渡中将有多种用途。我们的反应堆是模块化的，每个模块将产生1吨/天的氢 - 例如（例如）公交或卡车仓库所需的比例。Mammonia正成为运输氢气的最受欢迎的手段，因为运输气态或液体氢的成本太高了。但是随后仍然存在有效地将氨转化回氢的问题，这是我们的反应堆。我们知道竞争对手开发了大规模的集中氨饼干，用于大型端口等，但这仍然留下了将氢运输到最终使用点的问题。经济分析表明，最好将氢以氨的形式（更容易运输）直到最后可能的时刻，然后在使用时将其破解为氢。在这个资助的项目中，我们将设计反应堆与纯化系统的整合，以使所产生的氢气适用于燃料电池运输应用。
