Lower Saxony Graduate School: Hydrogen and the Hydrogen Derivative Ammonia

The Lower Saxony Graduate School "Hydrogen and the Hydrogen Derivative Ammonia" brings together researchers across Lower Saxony to explore the potential of green ammonia as a hydrogen carrier for the energy systems of tomorrow.
Ammonia holds significant promise in this context due to its carbon-free nature, ability to be liquefied at low pressures, and excellent transportability. It is particularly well-suited for long-distance transportation.
The project focuses on several areas of innovation, including ammonia synthesis, storage, transport, direct utilization, and hydrogen recovery. It spans the entire value chain, from synthesis to combustion, while also addressing safety considerations.

  • Synthesis: The program seeks to optimize catalytic ammonia synthesis via the Haber-Bosch process using green hydrogen, paving the way for reactor technologies suitable for both stationary and dynamic applications.
  • Storage and Transport: Researchers are examining the ecological, economic, and safety aspects of ammonia storage and transportation, as well as solutions for decentralized and flexible utilization.
  • Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Reforming: Efforts include advancing catalyst technologies and exploring innovative reactor designs for efficient conversion of ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen.
  • Combustion: Research focuses on optimizing combustion characteristics, such as ignition and flame stabilization, alongside the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides generated during combustion.
  • Fuel Cells: Investigations are planned into the use of ammonia and cracked ammonia in high- and low-temperature fuel cells.

At I1FAS, advanced simulation methods running on high-performance computing systems are employed to study the combustion of hydrogen and ammonia in detail.
