HiPowAR

Green ammonia, made via a process that is entirely carbon-free and 100 % renewable, is widely used to make agricultural fertilisers. Its energy density by volume is nearly twofold compared to hydrogen, and its shipping, storage and distribution are much easier. The EU-funded HiPowAR project will develop a reactor for the direct energy conversion of ammonia fuel to power. Specifically, it will realise and validate a new process based on a membrane reactor; the process is simple and cheaper than a solid oxide fuel cell. The aim is to promote the acceptance of ammonia as a synthetic fuel without CO2 emissions, encouraging the adoption of ammonia fuelling technologies.
