🌍 ALL-IN Zero at ICIM-18: our electrochemical ceramic reactors take the stage at the world’s leading conference on inorganic membranes 🌿

From 29 June to 3 July, the 18th International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM-18) took place in Montpellier, France, co-organised by the Instituto de Tecnología Química (ITQ, CSIC-UPV) and the Université de Montpellier. The event brought together more than 300 experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in inorganic membranes and their applications in strategic sectors such as power generation, gas separation and catalytic membrane reactors. 🔬

🎤 Talks rooted in ALL-IN Zero results

Among the contributions, Dr. Laura Almar (ITQ, CSIC-UPV) delivered the talk «Efficient H2 production from NH3 by using Protonic Electrochemical Ceramic Reactors», presenting ALL-IN Zero results on the efficient conversion of ammonia into hydrogen through protonic electrochemical ceramic reactors.

The project was also represented by our partner Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ): Prof. Dr. Wilhelm A. Meulenberg gave the keynote lecture «Manufacturing of Proton Conducting Cells», focusing on the fabrication of the protonic ceramic cells and membranes at the core of the technology — a key contribution of FZJ to the project.

⚡ Why it matters for ALL-IN Zero

Together, both talks cover complementary building blocks of our project: from the manufacturing of the proton-conducting ceramic cells to their use in a Compact Membrane Reactor (CMR) that converts low, zero or carbon-negative fuels — such as ammonia — into hydrogen, a temporary energy carrier. This hydrogen is then used on-site by a zero-emission Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a Fuel Cell System (FCS) to deliver clean mechanical and electrical power, all within an energy-integrated system. 🚗💨

Sharing these results at a world-reference forum like ICIM-18 reinforces the relevance of ALL-IN Zero’s work in the race towards multisectorial decarbonisation, and places the membrane technologies developed within the project at the heart of the international scientific debate. 🌎

👏 Congratulations to Laura Almar, Wilhelm A. Meulenberg and the whole ITQ (CSIC-UPV) and Forschungszentrum Jülich teams for their outstanding participation!
