Ammonia as a H2 carrier
» 637.6 KiB - 320 hits - 1 December 2008
Appears to be an independent assessment of the pros and cons of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier / fuel for ICs. Overall fairly favourable - indicates that hydrogen is likely to be far more dangerous as a fuel than ammonia and very hard to transport. States that effectively ammonia can be made to have zero tailpipe emissions and can be used at the same engine efficiency as diesel. Ammonia as a vehicle fuel risk assessment

San Francisco October 15-16 , 2007 Norm Olson –Iowa Energy Center www.energy.iastate.edu Ammonia is proposed as a practical and clean alternative to [[fossil fuel]] for [[internal combustion engines]. Essentially ammonia has no serious issues, as an alternative vehicle fuel compared to petrol or diesel, including toxicity, flammability, use in engines, pollution, energy density . It does requires twice the storage volume of petrol/diesel. It can run in existing engines. It is already widely produced and distributed, and can be manufactured from renewable energy sources, coal or nuclear power. The main down side is that overall it is somewhat less efficient than batteries, but batteries don't yet exist with comparable energy densities to ammonia are very heavy, and consume vast amounts of scarce resources in their manufacture. The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark Norway, was producing ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe. Ammonia is already produced, transported and stored on a vast scale. It an be used in existing engines with only minor modifications to carburetors / injectors. If produced from coal, the CO2 can be readily sequestrated. http://www.ammoniafuelnetwork.org/ Caddy EcoFuel 26.02.08

This paper examines some key differences between battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs), including their relative efficiency for using different forms of energy and the technical and infrastructural challenges associated with their introduction.
