As the world shifts towards greener energy solutions, hydrogen and its derivatives like ammonia are gaining traction for their role in CO₂-free power generation. Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has pioneered a demonstration plant that utilizes ammonia as a carrier of hydrogen, converting it directly into electricity through a high-temperature fuel cell system. This breakthrough showcases the efficiency and sustainability of utilizing ammonia as a powerful medium for clean electricity generation, especially beneficial for sectors not connected to hydrogen networks. The process involves cracking ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures, resulting in electricity production with no CO₂ emissions or other pollutants. Prof. Laura Nousch emphasizes the advantages of using ammonia due to its high energy density, ease of storage, and transport, making it an ideal hydrogen carrier. The system's thermal management and ceramic cell technology enable an efficiency level of 60%, similar to natural gas systems but without carbon emissions. The generated waste heat can be repurposed for heating, further enhancing its sustainability. The flexibility of the ammonia SOFC system makes it suitable for various applications in industries, municipalities, and maritime settings, offering a decentralized power source for sustainable energy independence. Prof. Nousch underlines the adaptability of the system for custom fuel cell solutions, supporting climate-friendly power and heat generation across different sectors.
