The AMON project develops and validates a Direct Ammonia Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (DA-SOFC) system for clean, high-efficiency stationary power generation. The consortium covers the full value chain from cell and stack design, testing, and safety validation to system integration and techno-economic assessment. Technical results demonstrate electrical efficiencies above 65%, with total efficiencies exceeding 85% when integrated with CHP. The techno-economic analysis confirms that CAPEX targets below 3,000 €/kW are achievable at pre-industrial scale, significantly improving LCOE and financial performance. Emissions analysis shows up to ~96% CO₂ reduction when using green ammonia compared to grey pathways. The results identify off-grid and port cold-ironing applications as promising early markets, providing a technically validated and economically credible pathway toward commercial deployment.
