| Project Detail |
Developing efficient ammonia to electricity conversion system for sustainable energy generation, transport and storage.
Need
This project was selected as part of the competitive Hydrogen R&D Funding Round under the Transformative Research Accelerating Commercialisation (TRAC) Program to rapidly develop the critical technologies required to build a clean, innovative, safe, and competitive hydrogen industry and position Australia as a major player globally. While hydrogen technologies and targets have continued to evolve, R&D investment remains a critical imperative to commercialise clean hydrogen. Projects supported by the Hydrogen R&D Funding Round seek to progress the commercialisation of low cost, clean hydrogen in Australia
Action
The Recipient intends to develop an efficient catalytic reactor which can crack ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, and then use it in a thermally integrated Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells to generate electricity from the hydrogen (the Project). Ammonia is a promising hydrogen vector due to its high hydrogen storage capacity and stable transport properties. |
