Sustainability is the new mantra of the 21st century. We want to generate electricity, but it should be carbon-free. Ammonia (NH3) is a promising hydrogen carrier for sustainable power generation. Ammonia is becoming a key player in the global energy transition. A high-temperature fuel cell stack (SOFC) has been developed by the researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies (IKTS). SOFC uses ammonia to generate electricity efficiently. Cracking ammonia at a high temperature, hydrogen is produced. That hydrogen is converted to electricity in the fuel cell. The waste heat can be used for heating. As an efficient hydrogen carrier, … Continue reading Ammonia Powers Carbon-Free Energy: Inside the Global Race to Transform Electricity with High-Density, Zero-Emission Fuel Cells
