Safe and Effective Application of Ammonia As a Marine Fuel
Safety of Ammonia Energy: First Up, the Maritime Use Case?
ANNUAL REVIEW 2019: Ammonia. A hazardous chemical, no doubt. But is it too hazardous to use as an energy vector? This is a legitimate question that must be addressed as other aspects of the ammonia energy concept advance. It
The maritime sector's ammonia learning curve: moving from scenario analysis to product development
ANNUAL REVIEW 2019: The maritime industry is learning about ammonia fast. It is searching for a new bunker fuel, and ammonia is one of the few options that can realistically deliver a 50% reduction in the sector's GHG emissions by
Safe and Effective? New Study Evaluates Ammonia as a Marine Fuel
In mid-June the Dutch naval architecture firm C-Job released "Safe and effective application of ammonia as a marine fuel," a thesis written by the firm’s Lead Naval Architect Niels de Vries for the Marine Technology Master of Science program at
NH3 Energy Implementation Conference: A Brief Report
The 2018 NH3 Energy Implementation Conference, the first of its kind, took place on November 1 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the U.S. The focus of the Conference was on steps – current and future – that will lead to

Exploring ammonia's potential as a marine fuel
Maritime Industry Targets Ammonia Fuel to Decarbonize Shipping
In the last 12 months ... The International Maritime Organization issued its Initial GHG Strategy, committing the global shipping industry to emission reductions that cannot be achieved with carbon-based fuels. This single action is the regulatory trigger that unleashes a three-decade
Ammonia as a Renewable Fuel for the Maritime Industry
Last week, I wrote about a crucial new report that discusses four fuel technologies: batteries, hydrogen, ammonia, and nuclear. These could reduce the shipping sector's emissions in line with targets set in the IMO's Initial GHG Strategy. The report, Reducing
Pilot project: an ammonia tanker fueled by its own cargo
Last month, an important new consortium in the Netherlands announced its intention to research and demonstrate "the technical feasibility and cost effectiveness of an ammonia tanker fuelled by its own cargo." This two-year project will begin with theoretical and laboratory
Full program announced for the 2018 NH3 Event Europe
The second annual European Conference on Sustainable Ammonia Solutions has announced its full program, spread over two days, May 17 and 18, 2018, at Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands. The international cadre of speakers, representing a dozen countries from across
The Maritime Industry Begins Assessment of Ammonia as a Fuel
In the last 12 months ... The maritime industry has begun assessing ammonia as a carbon-free fuel, for internal combustion engines and fuel cells. This marks the first time since the 1960s, when NASA used ammonia to fuel the X-15 rocket
Bunker Ammonia: momentum toward a "sustainable and future-proof" maritime fuel
The maritime industry is beginning to show significant interest in using ammonia as a "bunker fuel," a sustainable alternative to the highly polluting heavy fuel oil (HFO) currently used in ships across the world. In recent months, a firm of
