and easier than using hydrogen</em></strong></figcaption></figure></div> <p>Amogy in the US has demonstrated its ammonia-powered technology in a heavy-duty electric vehicle for the first time (writes Nick Flaherty).</p> <p>The 100 kW tractor marks a 20-fold increase in the performance of the technology over the past year. It uses ammonia (NH3) with a fuel cell rather than hydrogen to provide access to a fuel that is cheaper and easier to store and transport.</p> <p>Hydrogen has to be stored at -253 ºC as a liquid, or at pressures of around 700 bar as a gas. By contrast, liquid NH3 can be stored at a temperature of -33 ºC at standard pressure, or at +20 ºC at 9 bar. That makes storing and transporting it far easier and more straightforward.</p> <p>The Amogy system consist of a standard liquid-storage tank and highly efficient ammonia-cracking modules integrated into a hybrid fuel cell system, which can provide consistent primary power for several hours from a fuel tank.</p> <p>Ammonia cracking occurs at high temperatures, typically around 800 ºC, but integrating the cracking module with the fuel cell provides the power for heating the cracker as well as powering the motors in the tractor.</p> <p>The ammonia is fed into the cracking module, where it is split into nitrogen and hydrogen; 75% of the gas consists of hydrogen. A small amount of NH3 (100 ppm) is not converted and left over in the gas stream.</p> <p>The company is planning a demonstration of Class 8 trucks and shipping vessels with a 1 MW system in the next year using the technology. Ammonia is already a globally traded commodity, with 20 million tons of the chemical shipped each year among almost 200 ports. This existing transportation and storage infrastructure is key for electric ships.</p> <p>Researchers in Germany are also planning a demonstration of an ammonia-based fuel cell system for shipping by the end of next year.</p> <p>This system, developed at Fraunhofer IMM, uses a passive catalytic converter to reduce the 12% of the hydrogen and residual NH3 that leaves the fuel cell unused. The Fraunhofer design uses a  corrugated metal foil coated with a powdered layer of catalytic particles that contain platinum to trigger a chemical reaction with air so that the only end-products are water and nitrogen.</p> <p>This technology will be used in the Viking Energy, a supply vessel owned by the Norwegian shipping company Eidesvik.</p> </div> <div class="right-section"> <h5 class="partners-side_title">ONLINE PARTNERS</h5> <div class="wp-block-partners-side-wrapper"> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2021/05/John-Deere.png' title="John Deere" onclick="window.open('https://www.deere.com/en/electronics/telematics/?cid=BAC_JDES_enUS_Dcom_emob_engineering');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2022/07/Henkel-logo-002.png' title="Henkel" onclick="window.open('https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/us/en/industries/automotive/emobility.html?utm_source=EME&utm_medium=banner+ad&utm_campaign=EMO-awareness-2023');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2023/08/Lord-Sub-Brand-Color-Logo.png' title="Parker Lord" onclick="window.open('https://www.parker.com/us/en/divisions/lord-division/solutions.html');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/01/DWS-Logo_Vertical_Dark.png' title="Dewesoft" onclick="window.open('https://dewesoft.com/');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/02/Curtis_Horz_wTag.png' title="Curtis Instruments" onclick="window.open('https://www.curtisinstruments.com/hvi5/');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/04/logo.png' title="Informa (Battery Show)" onclick="window.open('https://register.evtechexpo.com/qrtl8j');"/> <img class='partner-side-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/11/borgwarner-logo-550x191-1.png' title="BorgWarner" onclick="window.open('https://www.borgwarner.com/technologies/thermal-management');"/> </div> <div class="wp-block-sponsors-side-wrapper"> <div class='sponsor-wrapper slider slider-side'> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2023/09/Parker-gif-CoolTherm-1.gif' title="Parker Lord" onclick="window.open('https://www.parker.com/us/en/divisions/assembly-and-protection-solutions-division/solutions/cooltherm-thermal-management-materials.html?utm_source=tradepub&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=na_24_emg_aps_eme_coolthermad');" /> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/04/EVT-300x250-Banner.png' title="Informa (Battery Show)" onclick="window.open('https://register.evtechexpo.com/qrtl8j');" /> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/01/300x250-thumbnail-power-003.jpg' title="Dewesoft" onclick="window.open('https://dewesoft.com/');" /> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2023/02/JD_ISG-24008-April-Creative-Content_Digital_Banner_300x250-1.gif' title="John Deere" onclick="window.open('https://www.deere.com/en/electronics/telematics/?cid=BAC_JDES_enUS_Dcom_emob_engineering');" /> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2024/02/CurtisHVi_300Banner.png' title="Curtis Instruments" onclick="window.open('https://www.curtisinstruments.com/hvi5/');" /> <img class='sponsor-image' src='https://www.emobility-engineering.com/content/uploads/2023/02/Henkel-eMobility_banner-300x250px_230210a.png' title="Henkel" onclick="window.open('https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/de/en/industries/automotive/emobility/battery-engineering-center.html?utm_source=EME&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=BEC');" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="site-footer" class="page-foot header-footer-group" role="contentinfo"> <div class="section-inner"> <div class="footer-row first"> <div class="footer-credits"> <div class="footer-credits-main"> <div class="footer-logo"> <a href="https://www.emobility-engineering.com" class="custom-logo-link" rel="home" aria-current="page"> <img src="/content/uploads/2021/05/emobility-footer-logo.png" class="custom-logo" alt="E-Mobility"> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-credits"><div class="widget widget_text"><div class="widget-content"><h2 class="widget-title subheading heading-size-3">About Us</h2> <div class="textwidget"><p>In 2018 High Power Media launched E-Mobility Engineering as a quarterly magazine focusing on the electric and hybrid vehicle industry, providing concise coverage of the array of engineering challenges presented in this fast-growing market.
