First ammonia-powered jet flight in 2023: A roadmap to clean aviation

The entire airline industry needs to wean itself off jet fuel over the next few decades – but it’s still buying enormously expensive jet aircraft that are expected to keep bringing home the bacon for more than 20 years. Australian company Aviation H2 h… Continue reading First ammonia-powered jet flight in 2023: A roadmap to clean aviation

World’s largest green H2 hub, Hydrogen City, to open in Texas in 2026

Hydrogen City will eventually harness 60 gigawatts of solar and wind energy, and use it to produce over 2.5 billion kilograms (2.4 million tons) of green hydrogen a year, keeping it underground in storage caverns at the Piedras Pintas salt dome before … Continue reading World’s largest green H2 hub, Hydrogen City, to open in Texas in 2026

Engineered ammonia-producing bacteria could replace crop fertilizers

Ammonia is commonly used in commercial crop fertilizers, which in turn can pollute waterways when they run off of fields. New research, however, suggests that engineered bacteria could one day take the place of such fertilizers.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Engineered ammonia-producing bacteria could replace crop fertilizers

Green ammonia electrolysis breakthrough could finally kill Haber-Bosch

Scientists at Australia’s Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to eliminate nearly two percent of global greenhouse emis… Continue reading Green ammonia electrolysis breakthrough could finally kill Haber-Bosch

FuelPositive promises green ammonia at 60% the cost of today’s gray

Canada’s FuelPositive says each of its modular, container-sized ammonia production units will deliver 100 tonnes of green ammonia a year at costs around US$444/tonne, compared to average gray (fossil-fuel-based) ammonia prices that have averaged around… Continue reading FuelPositive promises green ammonia at 60% the cost of today’s gray

Fortescue aims to launch world’s first ammonia-powered ship in 2022

Australian mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has announced he’s challenged his team to get the world’s first ammonia-powered ship into service by 2022, following their rapid success with hydrogen mining trucks and ammonia-powered locomotives.Continue R… Continue reading Fortescue aims to launch world’s first ammonia-powered ship in 2022
