Catator and Alma Clean Power has agreed to collaborate on a groundbreaking Ammonia Cracker project aiming to decarbonize the maritime industry. This initiative, partially funded by the Swedish Energy Authority, is a testament to both companies’ commitment to innovation and a sustainable, clean-energy future.
We are excited to announce the new phase of our Ammonia Cracker development in collaboration with Alma Clean Power. Alma Clean Power is a pioneering company that provides high-temperature fuel cell technology for power generation to the maritime sector.
This initiative represents a significant step towards a fossil-free future, with green hydrogen playing a pivotal role. Green ammonia, synthesized from green hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen, is emerging as one of the most viable pathways for decarbonizing the maritime industry.
The ammonia cracker, based on Catator’s CataRex® concept, integrates catalyst coating technology into a heat exchange reactor, coupling endo- and exothermic reactions and heat transfer into one compact system.
We are proud to collaborate with Alma Clean Power to complete the development of the solution based on the design targets that Alma has set together with its customers.
The project aligns with Alma Clean Power’s current EU-funded ShipFC project, where a ammonia-operated solid oxide fuel cell module is planned to be retrofitted onboard the offshore vessel Viking Energy. The goal is for the vessel to sail solely on ammonia for up to 3,000 hours annually, marking the world’s first ammonia-powered fuel cell system ever installed on a vessel.
The project, which has received partial funding from the Swedish Energy Authority, aims to reach the cost and performance targets of a commercial solution and to verify the solution, ultimately in sea trials.
This project underscores Catator’s and Alma Clean Power’s commitment to innovation and our dedication to developing solutions that contribute to a sustainable, clean-energy future for the maritime sector.
