Project summary description:
This project focuses on further advancement and prototyping of a novel fuel reforming technology developed by Laureate Professor Behdad Moghtaderi and his team at the University of Newcastle for cracking of ammonia to hydrogen and nitrogen. Named CRACKITTM, the ammonia reformer combines a series of microfluidics and micro-reaction components into a unified platform for catalytic conversion of ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen.
