占全球二氧化碳排放量2.6%的航运业被敦促寻找清洁能源解决方案，以实现行业脱碳，并在2050年之前实现国际海事组织（IMO）的温室气体（GHG）排放目标。人们普遍认为，氢将在促进可再生能源的使用方面发挥至关重要的作用。然而，与氢气储存和分配相关的问题目前阻碍了其实施。另外，氨等能源载体以其碳中性化学式、高能量密度和成熟的生产、运输和存储基础设施可以为海运业提供实用的短期下一代电力解决方案。本文概述了使用氨作为燃料的航运脱碳的最先进和新兴技术，涵盖氨的一般特性、当前的生产技术，重点是绿色合成方法、船上存储以及利用氨发电的方法。
Shipping, which accounts for 2.6% of global carbon dioxide emissions, is urged to find clean energy solutions to decarbonise the industry and achieve the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets by 2050. It is generally believed that hydrogen will play a vital role in enabling the use of renewable energy sources. However, issues related with hydrogen storage and distribution currently obstruct its implementation. Alternatively, an energy-carrier such as ammonia with its carbon neutral chemical formula, high energy density and established production, transportation and storage infrastructure could provide a practical short-term next generation power solution for maritime industry. This paper presents an overview of the state-of-the-art and emerging technologies for decarbonising shipping using ammonia as a fuel, covering general properties of ammonia, the current production technologies with an emphasis on green synthesis methods, onboard storage and ways to generate power from it.
