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 […]
