Demonstration Direct Ammonia Fuel Cells

项目摘要

Ammonia is a highly attractive energy vector, especially for the maritime sector. It acts as a dense and transportable store of hydrogen that offers an excellent route to enabling heavier duty transport applications to utilise renewable electricity. Fuel Cells can convert Ammonia into electrical energy without generating the nitrogen oxides that pollute our cities and ports. Additionally, utilising high temperature fuel cell technology to directly convert Ammonia offers simpler and more efficient systems. Here, we seek to implement a novel fuel cell system that has been demonstrated for direct conversion of Ammonia directly into water and nitrogen, yielding electric power. We seek to exploit anticipated advantages in terms of cost and lifetime, allowing the development of a robust and highly competitive product.This project comprises of university studies to optimise electrodes for Ammonia conversion, developing cell fabrication technology, and improving current collection to develop the technology base. The core activity will be to develop an operational stack targeting kW operation on ammonia fuel. This will be supported by developing the electrical system to work with this and developing the operational parameters demanded for successful demonstrations both on-vessel and shoreside implementations. This partnership seeks to implement direct ammonia fuel cells, establishing pathways to early markets and an important new supply chain for clean Maritime Transport.

氨是一种高度吸引人的能量载体，尤其是对于海事部门。它充当了氢的密集储存，它提供了一条绝佳的途径，可实现较重的运输应用来利用可再生电力。燃料电池可以将氨转化为电能，而不会产生污染我们的城市和端口的氮氧化物。此外，利用高温燃料电池技术直接转化氨水提供了更简单，更高效的系统。在这里，我们试图实施一种新型的燃料电池系统，该系统已被证明是将氨直接转化为水和氮的直接转化，从而产生了电力。我们试图在成本和终生方面利用预期的优势，从而开发出强大且竞争激烈的产品。该项目包括大学研究，以优化用于氨转化，开发细胞制造技术的电极，并改善当前收集以开发技术基础。核心活动将是开发针对氨燃料KW操作的操作堆栈。这将通过开发电气系统来与之合作并开发为成功演示的船尾和岸边实施所需的操作参数来支持这一点。该合作伙伴关系旨在实施直接的氨燃料电池，建立通往早期市场的途径，并建立一个重要的新供应链，用于清洁海上运输。
