Ammonia feeding a fuel cell.
KINGSTON, N.Y. (AP) — On a tributary of the Hudson River, a tugboat powered by ammonia eased away from the shipyard dock and sailed for the first time to show how the maritime industry can slash planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions.
The tugboat used to run on diesel fuel. The New York-based startup company Amogy bought the 67-year-old ship to switch it to cleanly-made ammonia, a new, carbon-free fuel.

I don't know how something that smells as bad as ammonia could ever be called "clean"......Ben

Impressive results. It's the first example I've seen of using ammonia as a fuel. Kudos to Amazon and to MIT students for contributing to the project's success.

How much damage to the earth is done during the production of Ammonia? It's not just pumped out of the ground is it? It has to be in some dyoxide something or other
