First High-Temperature Ammonia-Powered Fuel Cell For Ships

Every year, hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 are emitted through maritime transport, causing serious harm to the climate.
As scientists around the world test new propulsion methods capable of replacing fuel oil in ships.
Fraunhofer researchers are working as part of an international consortium to develop ammonia-based fuel cells.
When used as fuel for ships with electric engines, ammonia is as eco-friendly as hydrogen but easier and safer to handle.
