Ammonia Fuel Engine – Revolutionising Transportation

Ammonia engines combust ammonia using a similar process to standard internal combustion engines. However, ammonia's properties make it inefficient for several common use cases and give rise to dual-fuel engines. Both options are driving investment and innovation in the technology.

Climate Change in South Korea: Floods, Heat and Looking Away

South Korea's strategy to address climate change's impacts is reactive, not proactive, while its newly adopted policies and upcoming plans continue to undermine renewables.

Blue Ammonia Fuel: Usage, Projects and Future

Blue ammonia fuel uses natural gas as a feedstock for hydrogen production and applies carbon, capture and storage (CCS) to reduce overall emissions. However, the viability of CCS and its role in slowing the low-carbon energy transition are concerning. Renewable energy-reliant alternatives are available and should be the focus of decarbonisation efforts.

Heatwaves in 2023: A Glimpse Into the Future of Climate Change

The G20 Summit, the UN Climate Ambition Summit and COP28 are just some of the opportunities to seal the fate of fossil fuels.

Green Ammonia Fuel – The Fuel of the Future?

Green ammonia uses renewable energy to power electrolysis and produces ammonia without carbon emissions. The technology is promising, yet it is still in its early stages. Ongoing investment by the public and private sectors can make it commercially viable.
