This ammonia decomposition project for hydrogen production, a collaboration between Petronas S.A. and the University of São Paulo (USP) through the Research Center for Innovation in Greenhouse Gases (RCGI), aims to develop a sustainable alternative for hydrogen generation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project involves experimental studies, modeling, and simulation, with its main objective being a technical and economic analysis based on the conceptual development of the process. This process utilizes modeling and simulation data for high-pressure ammonia decomposition, which can occur through direct or indirect routes, using benchmark catalysts and ionic liquids as the reaction medium and catalyst stabilizers.
