[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 4451Z AFC Energy Plc 20 May 2019 \n\n \n \n20 May 2019 \n \nAFC Energy PLC\n \n(\"AFC Energy\" or the \"Company\")\n \nAFC Energy Successfully Concludes Ammonia to Power (\"A2P\") Fuel Cell Generator Trials and Confirms Plan for Scalable Commercial System \n \nAFC Energy (AIM: AFC), the leading alkaline fuel cell power company, announces the successful results of an 18 month Ammonia to Power (\"A2P\") trial and confirms plans to conclude work on the business case and engineering of an integrated, scalable ammonia fuelled clean power generator. \n \nThe system, which expects to utilise existing ammonia cracking technology alongside AFC Energy's proprietary fuel cell system, would enable the use of AFC Energy's fuel cells in off-grid locations where electricity would be generated through the consumption of ammonia; a low-cost commodity chemical that is readily available in industrialised and developing countries. \n \nHighlights\n \n· Proof of concept for the use of AFC Energy's fuel cell system with cracked ammonia fuel to provide clean electrical power in remote, off-grid applications where premium power prices are available \n \n· Negligible difference in fuel-cell performance witnessed between direct hydrogen gas sourced from industrial gas companies, and that sourced from cracked ammonia\n \n· Ability to utilise \"off the shelf\" ammonia crackers readily available in today's market without the need for further research and development costs that would otherwise likely delay go to market strategies \n \n· Completion of full third-party safety review demonstrates safe operation of the integrated system \n \n· Clear ability to scale up power production with increases in the size of the cracker capacity and fuel cell to deliver multi-MW solutions for powering remote or off-grid communities \n \n· Work has commenced on the design and business case for an integrated power system that is fully consistent with AFC Energy's approach to the identification of third party hydrogen solutions within its off-grid power generation unit \...
