What is needed to manufacture ammonia?
Ammonia can be made from air, water and a source of energy. Nitrogen from the air, and hydrogen from the water. Really! Can ammonia be made from renewable or “green” energy sources? Yes. This is one of the huge benefits of ammonia as a fuel. You can’t make crude oil or gasoline at any price. When it’s gone, it’s gone forever. But ammonia can be manufactured from any source of energy including great renewables like hydro-electric, solar or wind power! And manufacturing ammonia does not involve shifting vast quantities of land from producing food to producing plants for biofuels. What are the emissions from a converted ammonia fueled vehicle? The emissions from the burned ammonia are nitrogen and water vapor. When operated dual fuel, the gasoline or other hydrocarbon may still generate a small amount of CO and CO2, etc. However, this emission is typically reduced by roughly 60 to 70%. Is ammonia dangerous? All fuels and energy sources, including even charged batteries have some potential
