Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022189484A1] Method for the preparation of a gaseous fuel comprising the steps of: (a) providing a gaseous stream of ammonia; (b) splitting the gaseous stream of ammonia into a first and second substream; (c) introducing the first substream into a solid oxide fuel cell; (d) cracking the gaseous ammonia in the first substream hydrogen and nitrogen by means of heat created by electro-chemical reactions performed in the solid oxide fuel cell; (e) withdrawing an off-gas from the solid oxide fuel cell containing the hydrogen and nitrogen formed in step (d); (f) mixing the off-gas with the second substream of the gaseous ammonia to provide the gaseous fuel, wherein the solid oxide fuel cell is operated at a fuel utilization of between 35% and 70%.
