Ammonia Cracking at Fraunhofer IMM

Fraunhofer IMM3 min

Why watch it?

In this three-minute clip, Fraunhofer IMM presents ammonia as a practical carrier for storing green hydrogen and moving it over long distances, and shows its catalytic process for cracking ammonia back into hydrogen. The process builds on the institute's microstructured reactors and in-house catalysts. Because it runs autothermally, the description says, the endothermic cracking reaction needs no external energy source. The institute is presenting its own technology, and no performance figures are given.

This introduction is based on the video’s YouTube description and catalogue details. Source video: independent technical information. No expert opinion has been added to this video yet.

What you will learn

The viewer can compare autothermal ammonia cracking with conventional endothermic cracking and explain how it removes the need for external heat.
