Going from the combustion of fossil fuels to the combustion of ammonia is a promising means for the maritime industry to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions. But if that is not careful, this exchange could also stimulate the harmful pollution of nitrogen.
“It is a major alarm sound that sounds,” says Xin Zhang at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
The tens of thousands of ships on the oceans are responsible for around 3% of world CO2 emissions, etc.
