Technological Development and Challenges of Ammonia as Alternative Fuel for Ships
In order to meet the gradually increasing carbon reduction requirements of the shipping industry,the technologi-cal development and future feasibility of ammonia as an alternative fuel for ships was analyzed.By studying the current status of core technologies involved in the preparation,transportation and utilization of ammonia as a marine fuel industry chain,the prob-lems faced by the industry development and challenges of ammonia fuel ships in the future were discussed and summarized.It was shown that the large-scale promotion and application of ammonia as an alternative fuel for ships still face technical and commercial challenges such as insufficient technological maturity,incomplete safety regulations,and insufficient support and cooperation from stakeholders.It is necessary to comprehensively layout from policy support,innovation platform and standard system,ensure the research and development of core technologies and key equipment,actively explore the application demonstration project,so as to promote its industrialization development.
