Safe and effective hydrogen storage
The project addresses a new storage principle, where hydrogen as ammonia is stored in metal-amine complexes.
Results
In compact form, the complexes may contain over 100 kg hydrogen/m3 – more than the US Department of Energy 2015 goal of 80 kg/m3. A storage unit was developed containing approx. 8.5 kg ammonia and weighing approx. 20 kg in total. A PhD study developed new catalysts to produce hydrogen from ammonia. Moreover, ammonia reformers were developed, producing 400 l of hydrogen/hour with an efficiency ratio of more than 90%. A PEMFC ran for several hours on the reformed matter without output decrease.
