Abstract: This method for hydrogen production from ammonia is based on the catalytic dissociation of gaseous ammonia in a cracker. A catalytic fixed bed is used. The ammonia cracker supplies a fuel cell (for example, an alkaline fuel cell AFC) with a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. Most of the supplied hydrogen is burned in the ammonia cracker for the supply of the energy needed for the ammonia dissociation process.

Abstract: A fuel cell includes a circulating electrolyte for preventing fuel cross over. The electrolyte is past through a porous spacer positioned between the anode and the cathode. The circulating electrolyte removes any unused methanol fuel from the cell. The methanol may then be reclaimed from the electrolyte in a distillation loop.
