Zusammenfassung: | The present invention in one aspect is directed to an autonomous vehicle energy replenishment system (10) comprising: 1. a source of renewable ammonia (14); 2. an electricity generating module (16) operatively coupled to and fuelled by ammonia (17) from the renewable ammonia source (14); 3. an ammonia cracking reactor (18) arranged to receive ammonia (19) from the renewable ammonia source (14), the ammonia reactor (18) configured to harness waste heat (40) from the electricity generating module (16) in the course of producing hydrogen fuel; 4. a hydrogen dispenser (20) operatively coupled to the ammonia cracking reactor (18) to receive the hydrogen fuel for dispensing; 5. an autonomous vehicle such as (12a) powered by a hydrogen fuel cell designed to be replenished or refuelled by the hydrogen fuel dispenser from the hydrogen dispenser (20). Methane may be employed as an alternative to ammonia. |
