The partners of the CAMPFIRE consortium were successful in their application for Horizon2020 FETPROACT-EIC-05-2019 "Emerging Paradigms and Communities" - Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation for full decarbonisation, securing the contract from among 78 applicants. The INP has thus been awarded the contract to coordinate the €4 million EU project. In HiPowAR, the Centre for Fuel Cell Technology, the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems and the INP are working with partners from Sweden, Italy and the Czech Republic to develop a new membrane reactor for efficient energy generation from ammonia. The project focuses on a breakthrough in the direct conversion of ammonia into energy. This is significantly advancing the acceptance of ammonia as a synthetic fuel without CO2 emissions. The membrane reactor developed by the CAMPFIRE partners is based on a MIEC (Mixed Ionic Electronic Conductor) membrane and achieves higher energy conversion efficiencies compared to combustion engines and steam generators.

The EU project HiPowAR emerged from the CAMPFIRE alliance. The CAMPFIRE alliance in the North-East region is pursuing the development of a new field of innovation for the decentralised production of ammonia from renewable energies and its use as an innovative energy source for emission-free maritime mobility.
