Corvus Energy awarded funding for the
integration of ammonia cracker technology with Pelican Fuel Cell
system.
Corvus Energy has been awarded funding for the
integration of ammonia cracker technology with its Pelican Fuel Cell
system. The project, titled “APOLO”, is a collaboration between
several partners and aims to solve the challenges of power conversion
from ammonia and develop an efficient and flexible ammonia cracking
technology for the maritime sector.
The 4-year program, which started 1 January 2024, will demonstrate
power conversion from commercially available Fuel cell systems using
hydrogen from ammonia cracking with a power output of 125kW. The
program will also test an ammonia cracker coupled with a novel ammonia
engine running on an ammonia/hydrogen blend to compare the different
technologies.

Partners in the project in addition to Corvus
Energy are; H2Site, Tecnalia, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, 1
CUBE, Chalmers Tekniska Hogskola, Nuvera, Astander, Fertiberia and LEC
GMBH. Tecnalia will be the coordinator of the project.
Through the program, Corvus Energy will work with H2Site and the other
partners on the development, integration, testing and demonstration of
the ammonia cracker and their Corvus Pelican PEM Fuel Cell. In
addition, Corvus Energy will lead a work package developing a business
case for these systems used onboard ships.
Project outcomes will advance zero-emission shipping and be a step
forward for the use of ammonia in maritime transportation.
The project funding is part of the Horizon Europe Framework Program,
Horizon-CL5-2023-D5-01. The technologies developed in APOLO will be
capable of targeting the first 30,000 ships in the market. Initially,
the focus will be on vessels with 1 to 10 MW propulsion, with a
significant number of them being around 3 MW in the next decade, as
these are the first vessels relevant for ammonia-powered solutions.
