氨是一种强大的化学品，对其在化学加工领域的用途进行了 150 多年的研究。该分子在农业应用中的潜力使得人口爆炸式增长，同时其在制冷技术中的应用确保了冷却系统的连续高效运行。其他领域也从氨中受益，但直到 2010 年代，该分子在燃料应用中的使用还很少。气候变化和能源依赖等多种因素重新激发了人们对使用氨作为能源载体的兴趣，这种能源载体有可能支持从小设备到大型电力应用的各种应用，从而支持向净零经济的过渡。因此，氨似乎是减少排放的切实选择，可以支持未来几年真正的无碳能源转型。随着对分子认识的增加，基于燃烧过程的研究领域也扩展到氨的利用。围绕这一主题的研究不仅在学术界得到了显着增强，而且在愿意展示这种化学品潜力的政府机构和工业联盟中也得到了显着增强。因此，本综述探讨了使用氨作为熔炉燃烧燃料的最新发现和最先进的研究。与其他评论不同，目前的工作试图收集最新的基础研究、评估氨系统运行的最关键技术，以及提出各种突破性概念的新颖方法，以确保分子作为熔炉燃料的可靠、更清洁的消耗。此外，本手稿包括来自世界各地的最新研究，试图总结数十个小组目前正在进行的广泛工作。最后，还讨论了未来的趋势和要求，为那些有兴趣进行氨燃料系统研究和开发的人提供指导。
Ammonia is a formidable chemical that has been investigated over 150 years for its use in the chemical processing field. The potential of the molecule to be used in farming applications has enabled a demographic explosion whilst its implementation in refrigeration technologies ensure continuous operation of cooling systems at high efficiencies. Other areas have also benefited from ammonia, whilst the use of the molecule in fuelling applications was scarce until the 2010s. A combination of factors that include climate change and energy dependency have reignited the interest of using ammonia as an energy vector that can potentially support applications that range from small devices to large power applications, thus supporting the transition to a net zero economy. Therefore, ammonia appears as a tangible option towards the reduction of emissions that can support a truly carbon-free energy transition in the coming years. As the recognition of the molecule increases, research areas based on combustion processes have also expanded towards the utilization of ammonia. The research around the topic has considerably augmented not only in the academic community, but also across governmental institutions and industrial consortia willing to demonstrate the potential of such a chemical. Therefore, this review approaches the latest findings and state-of-the-art research on the use of ammonia as a combustion fuel for furnaces. Different to other reviews, the present work attempts to gather the latest fundamental research, the most critical technologies evaluating ammonia for system operation, and novel approaches that suggest various breakthrough concepts that will ensure the reliable, cleaner consumption of the molecule as furnace fuel. Further, the present manuscript includes the latest research from all corners of the world, in an attempt to summarise the extensive work that dozens of groups are currently conducting. Finally, future trends and requirements are also addressed, providing guidance to those interested in doing research and development in ammonia-fuelling systems.
