We hope you join us for this exciting webinar series!
Sincerely,
The ICED Executive Committee
Despite numerous attempts to develop ammonia-powered vehicles in the past, none have successfully made it to widespread use, either on land or sea. Research in the 1960s and 1970s highlighted valuable technological challenges that needed to be addressed.
Today, with the global shift toward a low-carbon society, ammonia has gained renewed attention as both a key energy carrier for hydrogen and a potential fuel in its own right, despite its less favourable combustion characteristics. During this presentation, we will present a review of the challenges that need to be resolved to optimize the performance and pollutant challenges of ammonia-fuelled engines as well as highlighting some results of recent studies that illustrate potential engine control and aftertreatment strategies for addressing these challenges.
