Catalyst optimization and scale-up for hydrogen production via ammonia decomposition

Location: Group for Sustainable Energy Carriers ‐ EPFL

Duration: 6 months

Project Overview: Join us at ECHO for a pivotal project phase transitioning from TRL3 to TRL5, focusing on the development and scaling of an innovative catalyst to decompose ammonia into hydrogen for decarbonization applications. The project aims to refine and validate the catalyst's functionality within a controlled environment to ensure readiness for commercial deployment of a new hydrogen technology.
