The project will develop a system capable of producing hydrogen from "cracked" ammonia for use in PEM fuel cells. This will enable the final step in demonstrating the bulk hydrogen storage and supply chain based on green or blue ammonia (NH3), with lower costs than storing and distributing bulk hydrogen (H2). The project will complete a detailed engineering design, site selection, permitting, and procurement of long lead items during the grant period.With a higher energy density, hydrogen offers significant advantages to batteries for transport applications, particular for larger vehicles, buses and trains. It can also enable the decarbonisation of off-grid power, including construction sites, data centres, events, festivals and supporting urban electric vehicle recharging stations. These end-users are well-suited as the first users of a bulk hydrogen supply chain based on low/zero-carbon ammonia. Once established, these supply chains provide a basis for scale up to deliver hydrogen in the quantities--- and low costs--- needed to decarbonise other sectors such as industry, power generation and heat.Ammonia has a high hydrogen density and is readily and cheaply transported and stored in liquid form. The ammonia industry is mature, with existing storage assets and a well-established safety record. A bulk hydrogen supply chain based around ammonia offers lower logistics costs and smaller footprints than an equivalent gaseous (or liquid) hydrogen supply chain. It also enables large, centralised hydrogen production at remote sites -- which often have the lowest production costs.

该项目将开发一种能够从“裂解”氨中生产氢气的系统，用于PEM燃料电池。这将使展示基于绿色或蓝色氨（NH3）的散装氢气储存和供应链的最后一步成为可能，其成本低于储存和分配散装氢气（H2）。该项目将在拨款期间完成详细的工程设计、选址、许可和长期主要项目的采购。具有更高的能量密度，氢为运输应用的电池提供了显着的优势，特别是对于大型车辆，公共汽车和火车。它还可以实现离网电力的脱碳，包括建筑工地、数据中心、活动、节日和支持城市电动汽车充电站。这些终端用户非常适合作为基于低碳/零碳氨的散装氢供应链的首批用户。一旦建立起来，这些供应链将为扩大规模提供氢的数量和低成本提供基础，这是工业、发电和供热等其他部门脱碳所需的。氨的氢密度很高，易于以液体形式运输和储存。氨气行业已经成熟，拥有现有的储存资产和良好的安全记录。与同等的气态（或液态）氢供应链相比，以氨为基础的散装氢供应链提供了更低的物流成本和更小的足迹。它还可以在偏远地区进行大规模、集中的氢气生产，这些地区的生产成本通常最低。
