In 2021, the partners in product category 3 (maritime propulsion) of the Campfire Alliance could only meet online. Now the 50 or so participants came together again around the campfire and held a workshop on board the ZBT.
Cast off!
Dr. Peter Beckhaus, captain of the ZBT, welcomed the participants to the two-day workshop and introduced the institute. Then he handed over to the helmsmen Michael Steffen (ZBT), Jens Wartmann (ZBT) and Benjamin Friedhoff (DST).
In addition to many informative presentations on licensing, ammonia infrastructure and logistics, ammonia safety and cracker engine propulsion systems, the World Café on Day 2 provided a good opportunity to work together on innovative approaches to solutions and new project ideas on these topics. The programme was complemented by guided tours of the ZBT and the DST and a social evening with all participants and a bottle of rum.
This is Campfire
The Campfire Alliance was founded within the framework of the funding programme "WIR! - Wandel durch Innovation in der Region“ (Change through Innovation in the Region) programme of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim is to research and develop new energy conversion and storage technologies for the future energy system based on green ammonia.
At Campfire, ZBT is not only an important technology provider in ammonia cracking, but also responsible for leading the strategy and technology in Campfire Open Innovation Management. In organising the workshop, ZBT was actively supported by the DST - Development Centre for Ship Technology and Transport Systems in Duisburg.
After the Campfire workshop at ZBT, we are now one step closer to the energy transition at sea.
