H2SITE hands over its ammonia cracking plant to Fertiberia to be run by the National Hydrogen Centre.

The ammonia cracking pilot plant, designed and built by H2SITE, has been handed over to the Fertiberia Group, in Puertollano, to be run by the CNH2 - Centro Nacional del Hidrógeno (National Hydrogen Centre).

The plant is a fully automated prototype that produces 1 kg/h of hydrogen from ammonia, within the framework of the ARENHA Project, "Advanced materials and Reactors for ENergy storage through Ammonia".

The aim of the EU H2020-funded research project is to develop, integrate and demonstrate key material solutions that enable the use of ammonia for flexible, safe and cost-effective energy storage and use.

The ARENHA consortium, consisting of H2SITE, Tecnalia, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Technical University of Denmark, Fraunhofer IKTS, STFC, Proton Ventures, Elcogen, Stellantis, Engie, Université d'Orléans and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, aims to demonstrate the feasibility of ammonia for large-scale energy storage, enabling the integration of renewable electricity in Europe and creating global green energy corridors for the diversification of Europe's energy imports.
