Fraunhofer researchers developing ammonia-based systems for mobile energy in infrastructure, transportation and industry

Green Car Congress

In comparison to hydrogen, liquefied ammonia makes it easier to transport large volumes to wherever it is needed. It can be converted into hydrogen right at the filling station using decentralized plants. Because hydrogen produced from ammonia does not contain any carbon oxides or methane, it is also free from greenhouse gases.
