Proposed technology:  

Production of green H2 using inorganic microporous catalytic membrane reactor. This entails NH3 cracking followed by H2/N2 separation.

Use of green NH3 as source of cracking for H2 production as it is carbon-free.

Development of catalytic membrane reactor combining NH3 cracking and separation of H2 from NH3 and N2 in a single unit.

This involves combining a catalyst and H2 selective membrane in a single unit.

Catalyst: Use of non-precious metals such as, Fe/ Ni which are cost effective.

Costly Pd- based metallic membranes are usually used for gas separation (H2 from N2). We are proposing a more cost-effective ceramic membranes as an alternative.

Use of cost effective ceramic membranes and Ni catalyst in a single reactor assembly are the differentiating factors in our propose solution.

We expect the solution to reduce process complexity by combining the steps of ammonia cracking and H2/N2 separation. We expect a leaner, more cost effective assembly, with lower energy requirements. Usage of ceramic membranes would also lower the replacement cost due to its ability to withstand corrosion effects. It’s a significant improvement on many current processes and also provides another pathway to green hydrogen (replacing Pd based metallic membranes with low cost ceramic membranes) in a supply chain constrained market.
