Decarbonised Clean Marine: Green Ammonia Thermal Propulsion (MariNH3)

预计电气化动力将成为未来轻型运输的主要推进方式。对于可持续的重型应用，挑战仍然围绕着实际范围、有效载荷和总成本。目前还没有经济上可行的单一解决方案。对于商业船舶来说，由于使用寿命长，这一问题更为严重，散货船、油轮和集装箱船是温室气体的主要排放源。氨（NH3）作为一种可持续的未来燃料，在改装和先进发动机中都具有巨大的潜力。然而，安全有效的最终用途仍然存在很大的不确定性，这些未知因素跨越了基本理解、有效应用和接受。这个多学科项目旨在通过灵活的多学科研究，围绕具有颠覆性的高热效率和超低氮氧化物的NH3发动机概念，克服关键的相关技术、经济和社会未知数。目标是加速理解、技术和最终政策的适当扩展和“正确的第一次”。

Battery electrified power is predicted to become the dominant mode of propulsion in future light duty transport. For sustainable heavy duty applications challenges remain around practical range, payload and total cost. Currently there is no economically viable single solution. For commercial marine vessels the problem is compounded by long service lives, with bulk carriers, tankers and container ships the main contributors to greenhouse gases. Ammonia (NH3) has excellent potential to play a significant role as a sustainable future fuel in both retrofitted and advanced engines. However, significant uncertainties remain around safe and effective end use, with these unknowns spanning across fundamental understanding, effective application and acceptance. This multi-disciplinary programme seeks to overcome the key related technical, economic and social unknowns through flexible, multidisciplinary research set around disruptive NH3 engine concepts capable of high thermal efficiency and ultra low NOx. The goal is to accelerate understanding, technologies and ultimately policies which are appropriately scaled and "right first time".
