HIPOWAR

The HiPowAR (HIghly efficient POwer production by green Ammonia total oxidation in a membrane Reactor) project aims at developing a power generation system that adopts a novel membrane reactor where ammonia is oxidized at high pressure using oxygen separated from air through the permeable membrane, without the need for air compression. The project focuses on a breakthrough in the direct conversion of ammonia into electricity, which is driving the acceptance of ammonia as a synthetic fuel without CO₂ emissions. The membrane reactor is based on Mixed Ionic Electronic Conductor (MIEC) membranes and the plant can achieve higher efficiencies in electricity generation than internal combustion engines or steam generators.
