Westwood, Mass.-Acumentrics Corp.’s Canadian subsidiary, Acumentrics Canada Ltd., is partnering with Natural Resources Canada’s CANMET Energy Technology Centre to investigate the use of ammonia as a fuel for Acumentrics’ solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The fuel cell will convert ammonia to hydrogen and nitrogen internally and release only water vapor and nitrogen. “At Acumentrics we are proving that solid oxide fuel cells provide innovative fuel choices,” said Acumentrics CTO and Senior Vice-President Dr. Norm Bessette. “Acumentrics Canada will work closely with NRCan to demonstrate that ammonia is a viable fuel. This is an excellent opportunity for us to expand our Canadian presence.” “We need energy to power our economy, and we need clean energy to protect our environment – that’s a priority for our government,” said the Honorable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources. “By investing in this project, and other similar projects, we are ensuring that clean energy will continue to form an important part of Canada’s energy future.”
