AMBHER

Ammonia and MOF Based Hydrogen Storage for Europe

The AMBHER project aims at providing a quantum leap in the development of hydrogen storage technologies. For that purpose, it develops its main activities around ammonia synthesis for the long-term storage and around novel nanoporous Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for the short-time storage. For long-term storage, advanced catalysts and membranes and their combination in an intensified 3D-printed periodic open cell structured reactor will be developed to allow hydrogen storage in the form of ammonia in a cost-efficient and resource effective process at lower temperatures and pressures compared to conventional systems. For short-term hydrogen storage, novel nanoporous MOFs of high surface area and low-cost synthesis will be developed following an original shaping process (3D printing). Conformable cryo-vessel to accommodate stacks of MOF bodies of tailored-made shape will be also developed. Prototypes will be manufactured in both applications and validated at TRL 5.
