Eltronic FuelTech partnered up with Aarhus University in new project for the development of a system aiming to minimize ammonia emissions from dual-fuel vessels.
Eltronic FuelTech is initiating the AMAZE project in collaboration with Aarhus University’s Department of Biological & Chemical Engineering (BCE) and Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE).
Funded by the Danish Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), the Ammonia Management And Zero Emission (AMAZE) project aims to develop a system for minimizing ammonia emissions from dual-fuel vessels. The joint project will commence in February 2025 and run until the end of 2027.
As explained, the AMAZE project seeks to address key challenges in adopting ammonia as a fuel for the shipping industry. The main aim of the project is to develop a full-scale prototype solution to minimize ammonia emissions to below 25ppm from ships operating on dual fuel technology.
As a carbon-neutral fuel, ammonia produces no CO2 emissions when burned and can be sustainably produced from renewable energy sources. This makes ammonia a promising alternative marine fuel, presenting a valuable opportunity to reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transportation.
The innovation project represents a strong collaboration between industry and academia. By integrating lab-scale systems with advanced CFD simulations, the expected outcome of the project is a scalable and practical prototype.
