AmMoniA as a ZEro-carbon fuel and H2 carrier
The AMAZE project, coordinated internationally by CASALE S.A. (Switzerland), aims to develop safe, efficient, and commercially viable technologies for decentralized green ammonia production and its catalytic cracking to hydrogen. The initiative targets solutions at TRL 6, positioning green ammonia as a robust and scalable energy or hydrogen carrier for future low‑carbon applications across Europe.
The Polish consortium—Cracow University of Technology (CUT) as national leader and Qemetica S.A. as industrial partner—plays a key role in advancing non‑critical raw material (nCRM) catalysts for ammonia synthesis and selective ammonia cracking.
At CUT, research focuses on computational catalyst design and theoretical modelling of heterogeneous catalysis and reaction mechanisms. These studies accelerate catalyst optimisation by reducing development time from years to months. Qemetica contributes through end‑user validation of the developed technologies, assessing their industrial relevance and readiness for future scale‑up.
The project is expected to enhance international scientific collaboration, advance zero‑emission hydrogen technologies, and support innovation leading to new green products and industrial implementations within the AMAZE consortium.
