Can Ammonia Clean Up the Shipping Industry?

Why watch it?

Shipping produces 3 percent of global emissions, according to this DW Planet A report, and reporter Kai Steinecke asks whether ammonia can change that. Ammonia releases no carbon when burned and is cheaper than alternatives such as methanol, but purpose-built engines are hard to develop and almost no green ammonia is produced today. Chapters cover how ammonia engines work, the nitrogen oxide problem, onboard space and the green production gap. A clear primer for students; figures are not independently verified.
