Risks Reviewed For Fueling Marine Shipping With Ammonia

February 8, 2024 | Leave a Comment

Chalmers University of Technology researchers show in a study where the researchers carried out life cycle analyses for batteries and for three electrofuels including ammonia. The report has been published in Applied Energy. Switching to ammonia as a marine fuel, with the goal of decarbonization, can instead create entirely new problems. Eutrophication and acidification are […]

Ammonia Suggested to Replace 60% of Ocean Shipping Fuel

January 11, 2024 | Leave a Comment

Researchers at the University of Oxford have found that green ammonia could be used to fulfill the fuel demands of over 60% of global shipping by targeting just the top 10 regional fuel ports. That suggests that the fuel could be a viable option to help decarbonize international shipping by 2050. The study report has […]

A Way Found to Use Perovskite to Make Fertilizer & Hydrogen

December 19, 2019 | Leave a Comment

Tokyo Institute of Technology scientists have found a way to synthesize a special type of perovskite that promotes the production of ammonia. Ammonia has key applications in fertilizer production and hydrogen energy. This new synthesis process can be carried out at temperatures immensely lower than that of traditional methods for the synthesis of perovskite-oxide materials […]

Making Ammonia Without Using Natural Gas

January 29, 2019 | Leave a Comment

Case Western Reserve University researchers have come up with a new way to create ammonia from nitrogen and water at low temperature and low pressure. They’ve done it successfully so far in a laboratory without using hydrogen or the solid metal catalyst necessary in traditional processes. Ammonia, a compound first synthesized about a century ago, […]
