Swiss startup Neology is testing a system that converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen and electricity via a fuel cell, with water as the main byproduct. The process utilizes an 'ammonia cracker' to separate ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, with nitrogen being released harmlessly.

This technology targets applications where battery-electric solutions are less effective, such as in heavy vehicles and cold-weather conditions. Additionally, the hydrogen produced can serve alternative uses, like replacing propane for outdoor cooking.

Neology is participating in the Toyota Foundation's Sustainable Cities Challenge in Detroit, which provides warehouse space and support for hydrogen power initiatives. City officials note that Neology's technology may help expand possibilities for heavy freight and power generation.
