Alkaline fuel cell system fed with hydrogen derived from ammonia, for electric power and heat generation during the winter season in Longyearbyen

As of today, electricity and district heating in Longyearbyen are exclusively based on fossil fuels. It serves as a paradox, that the Norwegian settlement experiencing the impact of climate change the most, has the largest carbon footprint per capita. The coal-fired power plant of Longyear Energiver...
