Ammonia as a Fuel for Shipping

Dato:
Ammonia has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional marine fuels on the road to reduce GHG-emissions from shipping. It requires innovation when it comes to the adaptation of operations, design, and training to embrace the potential of ammonia-powered vessels. Furthermore, using ammonia as a marine fuel involves safety hazards such as toxicity which are crucial to understand so safeguards can be introduced. Crew safety is also a key theme when considering transitioning to ammonia fueled ships.
