Low cost hydrogen for fuel cell transport

Catalsys开发了一种新的反应器技术，可以在使用时将（绿色）氨“裂解”为（绿色）氢。这种氢将在清洁能源转型中有多种用途。我们的反应器采用模块化设计，每个模块每天可生产1吨氢气--这是（例如）公共汽车或卡车仓库所需的规模。由于运输气态或液态氢的成本太高，氨正成为最受欢迎的运输氢气的方式。但是，我们的反应器所做的就是如何有效地将氨转化为氢气。我们知道竞争对手正在开发用于大型港口等的大型集中式氨裂解装置，但这仍然存在将氢气运输到最终使用地点的问题。经济分析表明，最好将氢以氨的形式（更容易运输）保存到最后一刻，然后在使用点将其裂解为氢。在本资助项目中，我们将设计与纯化系统集成的反应器，以便生产的氢适用于燃料电池运输应用。

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.
