Summary

This publication describes the most relevant aspects of the ALL-IN Zero project. This project is funded in by the European Commision in the Horizon Europe framework. The key target of the project consists of develop a multi-fuel system that will feed low, zero or carbon-negative liquid or gaseous fuels like ammonia, natural gas, biogas or alcohols among other easy-handling fuels, into a Compact Membrane Reactor (CMR) producing H2 as an intermediate temporary energy vector. This temporary energy vector will be consumed in situ by a power generation system (PGS), an ICE and/or FCS, to generate electrical and mechanical power with zero emissions. The total duration of the project is four years starting in September 2022, so the reported status of activities corresponds to the first year of the project. During this initial period, efforts focused on the preliminary analysis of the systems, the design of the CMR system (in progress) and the setup and validation of the experimental framework to test both PGS (in progress). The preliminary analysis confirmed the viability of this innovative power generation concept for heavy-duty road freight transport applications in terms of packaging and H2 generation rates. Additionally, the design of the CMR system is providing the expected results, and the research framework required to develop the H2 fueled ICE and FCS is already in operation.
