The current situation in the use of ammonia as a sustainable energy source and its industrial potential

Ammonia, in other words synthetic nitrogen, helped humanity to increase its population by increasing the agricultural production yields and will be the key component of feeding the future growth. In addition to its existing uses mainly in fertilizer production, ammonia has promising prospects in shipping industry as a maritime fuel and in power generation thanks to its carbon-free molecular structure makes it a good substitute for fossil fuels in decarbonization efforts. In this study, while evaluating current production methods and main use cases, alternative production methods and developing use cases were examined.
