    Forget EV or Hydrogen, what about Ammonia

    What about Ammonia, NH3 , though thats not particularly safe if you inhale it ( I know, my finch fridge burst a line)



    I cant see a problem with that tho the oil companies ( and Im sure EV companies) do.

    Isn't that what the Qld developed tech was seeking to do? Basically it provides a safe form to transport hydrogen, rather than having to cool and compress it.

    Millions of tones of Ammonia is moved and used now. Common as mud Many predict it may be the Hydrogen form used in Shipping. NH3 or H2 is very similar in so many ways. Several fuel cells run perfectly on Nh3 or H2. Storing and transporting massive amounts of Nh3 is a well known process.

    I'm a bit agnostic on which or I think both will be part of the changes at very large scale industry use likely particularly in shipping. Watching BOC, Linde and others very closely on this one.
    Last year Maersk opted for Methanol for 8 ships "COPENHAGEN, Aug 24 (Reuters) - A.P. Moller-Maersk (MAERSKb.CO) said on Tuesday it had ordered eight vessels which are able to run on carbon-neutral methanol to accelerate the decarbonisation of its fleet and meet increased customer demand for greener transportation."

    I think it s a transition fuel only really.
