Transport accounts for a significant 29% of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions, so the spotlight on aviation’s contribution to climate issues has never been sharper. A key development has occurred within this context—Airbus’s much-touted hydrogen aircraft program has hit a major roadblock. Amidst earlier projections of launching hydrogen planes within a decade, Airbus’s recent announcement of delays starkly contrasts previous enthusiasms and presents a significant turning point for the industry. This situation is underscored by the €15 billion financial commitment that remains unprecedented despite market hesitance in developing a supporting hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen Challenges Airbus’s program envisioned positioning hydrogen as a…

A new patent by Duiker Combustion Engineers B.V. elaborates on an innovative process for efficiently producing hydrogen through the thermal reforming of ammonia. Thermal Reforming of Ammonia The patented process revolves around the thermal reforming of ammonia to extract hydrogen. The method utilizes an ammonia cracking reactor paired with a catalyst chamber and a staged combustion unit. The catalytic cracking of ammonia is central to this process, enabling the production of hydrogen from ammonia at elevated temperatures. Two-Stage Combustion Unit The process employs a two-stage combustion unit that serves to efficiently manage the heat necessary for cracking ammonia. In the…
