Sunborne reborn!
Presentation

Despite successfully demonstrating 56kW of controlled combustion of partially cracked ammonia in October 2023, Sunborne Systems was unable to secure Series A funding at the beginning of 2024. Since then, the co-founders have secured UK government funding to tackle two of the challenges set out for Series A funding: to further develop their patented catalysts and to address issues associated with ammonia slippage and NOx emissions. Future opportunities will be discussed.

Ammonia for Boilers in Rural Locations
Presentation

Currently ~4.5 million tonnes of oil are consumed in the off-mains industrial market annually in the UK. These energy-intensive processes contribute to point source emissions of 14.2 MtCO2/y. Businesses and industries in these locations often cannot rely solely on electricity to satisfy their process heating requirements. Decarbonisation of these sites therefore presents a significant and pressing challenge. Therefore, the Amburn project will develop and demonstrate a 1 MW ammonia-fed steam boiler to help decarbonise off-grid businesses across the UK. Funded by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero as part of the UK Government’s £55m Industrial Fuel Switching Competition,…
