Project’s aim

The increased penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the future will require backup technologies due to intermittency, and long-term energy storage in the form of a chemical vector (such as green ammonia) is increasingly favoured. FASTER will develop and demonstrate the techno-economic feasibility and reliability of a non-noble catalyst based on metal nitrides/ hydrides/amides active at low temperature and pressure in combination with a new reactor concept using structured catalysts and temperature swing absorption unit for synthesis and separation at TRL4. The use of highly thermally conductive reactor and absorption scaffolds will increase heat transfer, allowing fast transitions during operation at fluctuating loads . FASTER is a consortium of 5 companies and 3 research universities.
