Fraunhofer researchers in Dresden have developed an innovative system that utilizes ammonia to generate electricity and heat without harmful emissions. The system is based on a high-temperature fuel cell stack, known as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), which efficiently converts ammonia into electricity directly. By cracking ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, the system can produce electricity and heat in a single compact setup, offering a 60% efficiency rate similar to natural gas systems. This approach aligns with Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy, highlighting ammonia as a key hydrogen carrier due to its ease of storage and transport. The system's simplicity and robust structure make it suitable for small industrial companies, municipalities, and ships seeking eco-friendly energy solutions. Additionally, the system's customizable design and smart thermal management allow for tailored solutions for sustainable electricity and heat generation, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
