Key Outputs

AMAZE develops an integrated technological solution for green ammonia production and cracking, supporting validation under industrially relevant conditions and distributed hydrogen generation across Europe.

The project builds on existing technologies to address flexibility, efficiency and scalability when coupling ammonia production with renewable energy and electrolysis‑based hydrogen.

Validated Green Ammonia Synthesis

AMAZE develops and demonstrates an optimized green NH₃ synthesis process designed to operate at lower temperatures and pressures while accommodating fluctuations in renewable electricity supply.

Through catalyst development, process engineering and pilot validation, the project delivers:

  • Optimized nCRM catalysts for ammonia synthesis
  • Improved performance under variable operating conditions
  • Increased catalyst stability at lower operating pressures
  • Integration of mature components into a pilot‑scale system

The outcome is a distributed, modular technology capable of supporting small-scale and flexible ammonia production aligned with renewable energy availability.

Advanced Ammonia Cracking Technologies

To support the use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier, AMAZE develops efficient and selective technologies for NH₃ cracking into N₂ and H₂, suitable for on‑site hydrogen production.

Key outputs include:

  • Development of nCRM thermocatalysts for ammonia cracking
  • Demonstration of thermocatalytic cracking concepts at pilot‑relevant scale
  • Development of electrocatalytic routes for ammonia cracking
  • Investigation of zero‑gap electrocatalytic cell configurations

These developments address current limitations related to operating conditions, catalyst composition, and technology maturity.

Modular and Containerized Pilot System

A key outcome of the project is the design, construction, and validation of a container‑based pilot unit integrating green ammonia synthesis and cracking.

The modular pilot system is designed to be:

  • Relocatable across different testing sites
  • Adaptable to a range of application requirements
  • Suitable for chemical, fuel, and hydrogen carrier applications

The pilot supports the evaluation of integrated ammonia synthesis and cracking concepts under different operational contexts.

Integrated Process Engineering and Digital Optimization

AMAZE delivers system-level integration through:

  • Alternative process schemes for operation under milder conditions
  • Integration strategies for renewable energy supply
  • Use of digital twins and predictive modeling tools
  • Techno‑economic assessment to support system evaluation

Integrated Process Engineering and Digital Optimization

This ensures that the technology is not only technically feasible but also economically competitive and scalable.

Sustainability, Validation and Market Readiness

The project provides measurable outputs in terms of:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Sustainability KPIs
  • Market and societal acceptability analysis
  • Industrial demonstration in relevant environments

By combining pilot validation, performance testing and stability evaluation, AMAZE advances key technologies along the value chain toward market deployment.
