1. A system for ammonia (NH3) decomposition, comprising:
an ammonia reforming reactor, comprising:
a housing comprising a plurality of inner flow paths and an outer flow path, wherein the plurality of inner flow paths is in fluid communication with the outer flow path,
and one or more NH3 reforming catalysts capable of reforming NH3 to generate a reformate stream, wherein the reformate stream comprises hydrogen and nitrogen, wherein the one or more NH3 reforming catalysts are located in at least one of (i) the plurality of inner flow paths or (ii) the outer flow path; and
a plurality of heaters,
wherein each inner flow path is configured to be heated by at least one of the plurality of heaters,
wherein each inner flow path is in thermal communication with the at least one of the plurality of heaters along a length of the inner flow path.
