A 65-year-old tugboat after a retrofit of the old diesel engine, Climate Pledge signatory and Climate Pledge Fund recipient, Amogy, is proving that ammonia is the fuel of the future, the Climate Pledge reported.
“Using a machine called a chemical reactor, they’re changing ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen” the company stated. “The hydrogen then gets turned into electricity by another gadget called a fuel cell. The nitrogen—which typically becomes a potent greenhouse gas and health concern when ammonia is burned—is safely released into the atmosphere. This retrofitted tugboat is going to hit the waters this summer, running on a powerful system that can produce one megawatt of electricity from ammonia. In 2023, Amogy successfully tested smaller versions of this system in a truck, a tractor, and even a drone”.
