DARE2X

Decentralised Ammonia production from Renewable Energy utilising novel sorption-enhanced plasmacatalytic Power-to-X technology

The DARE2X project is proposing a disruptive approach to decarbonising ammonia (NH3) production: development of sorptionenhanced plasma-catalytic synthesis.

Project DARE2X
ObjectiveTo develop highly efficient catalysts and sorption materials to convert renewable H2 into NH3 at ambient conditions and a novel sorption-enhanced reactor using plasma-catalytic technology with a scalable design
RefHORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03 - DARE2X GA 101083905

The ground-breaking approach proposed by DARE2X to the NH3 production will help ensuring the European leadership in the production of this key green fuel, which is likely to replace part of the current fossil fuel, helping the decarbonisation of the transport sector value chain and become a vital global export commodity the competitivity. Furthermore, the cost-effective plasma-catalytic NH3 synthesis technology could be used by the chemical and fertilizer industry.

If successfully commercialised, this technology will provide entirely scalable NH3 production at near ambient temperature and pressure, with highly flexible production output.

Within the project, LOMARTOV is responsible for numerous tasks:

  • LOMARTOV will lead the techno and economic feasibility study of upscaling DARE2X reactor technology and the social acceptability and readiness of the solution.

  • A targeted, effective, and high-impact communication, dissemination, and outreach strategy will be defined, to connect the project with all internal and external possible beneficiaries and interested parties. The goal is to analyse the market opportunities of the Key Exploitable Results and settle an exploitation strategy that will enable the project to reach higher Technology Readiness Levels. A multilateral cooperation based on knowledge and best practices exchanges among the project and all relevant stakeholders in the NH3 production, storage and its sectors of applications will be established.
