"Development of a next generation AMmONia FC system" or "AMON" project aims at developing a novel system for the utilization and conversion of ammonia into electric power at high efficiency using a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). High temperature electrolysers have demonstrated in several activities the capacity to outreach high performances in lab scale prototypes and validation tests. The project will deal with the design of the basic components of the system including the fuel cell (FC), the ammonia cracker, the ammonia burner and an anode gas recirculation, the engineering of the whole Balance of Plants, and the validation of the compliance with ammonia use for all the specific parts and components. An overall Ammonia fuel cell system will be engineered and manufactured to be tested in a relevant environment in a port area. AMON will promote the use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, to enhance the flexibility of the energy system.
