Ammonia could be emissions silver bullet

As the maritime industry scans the horizon for scalable zero-emission fuels, low-emission ammonia is looming ever larger as a potential solution for deep sea operators. Ammonia is often regarded as the closest thing to a "silver bullet" shipping has in its push towards net zero by 2050. With no carbon dioxide released at combustion point, ammonia edges ahead of hydrogen (for some) with easier handling and higher energy density. It also liquefies at -33°C (versus hydrogen's -253°C), making storage and transportation simpler and cheaper using existing technology and infrastructure.
