TransHyDE_FP3

reforming of ammonia

Infrastructure project

The aim of TransHyDE is to answer all the questions that Germany still has to ask itself in order to build a national hydrogen infrastructure. These questions must be answered scientifically and technically in a way that is so robust that the foundations for the real implementation of the hydrogen transition are laid. One of these questions that still needs to be answered is how hydrogen can be recovered from ammonia. So far there is no large-industrial usable technology for reforming ammonia (NH3). Central to this is the knowledge-based design of highly active catalysts that work stably and cost-effectively without precious metals. In addition, the development of an emission-free process with a sustainable energy supply, a high degree of material and thermal integration and robust reactors with a high specific conversion rate are essential to create a technological basis.
