The Position of Ammonia in Decarbonising Maritime Industry: An Overview and Perspectives: Part II : Costs, safety and environmental performance and the future prospects for ammonia in shipping
Abstract
This is Part II of an overview of the state-of-the-art and emerging technologies for decarbonising shipping using ammonia as a fuel. Part I (1) covered general properties of ammonia, the current production technologies with an emphasis on green synthesis methods, onboard storage and\n ways to generate power from it. The safety and environmental aspects, as well as challenges for the adaptation of technology to maritime structure, and an insight for the level of costs during fuel switching are now discussed to provide perspectives and a roadmap for future development of\n the technology.
