World’s first ammonia cracker ? Those were Bonds words, have a google as there are already modular ammonia crackers around

Construction is underway for the Ammogen project, a 200kg per day ammonia to hydrogen demonstrator project which received £6.7m in funding from the UK’s Department of Energy and Next Zero last year.
Located at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP), a strategic energy and resource hub in the West Midlands, the project will convert renewable ammonia into hydrogen, which will be fed into a co-located hydrogen fueling station.
H2Site will supply its proprietary ammonia cracking technology for the project. The technology features a “unique palladium based membrane technology that can produce fuel cell purity hydrogen in one step using a containerised, modular” reactor. The project will be one of H2Site’s first deployment of the ammonia cracking technology.
Other members of the Ammogen consortium include professional services group Gemserv, technical services and EPC provider Equans, ammonia industry giant Yara and the University of Birmingham.
The Ammogen project aims to “improve the efficiency and economics of ammonia cracking” and “position ammonia cracking within UK political thinking”. The UK government has committed to have 10 GW of hydrogen capacity by 2030.
