Decarbonised Clean Marine: Green Ammonia Thermal Propulsion (MariNH3)

预计电池带电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，挑战仍然存在于实际航程、有效载荷和总成本方面。目前还没有经济上可行的单一解决方案。对于商业海运船舶来说，这个问题因使用寿命过长而变得更加复杂，散货船、油轮和集装箱船是温室气体的主要贡献者。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有很好的潜力发挥重要作用。然而，围绕安全和有效的最终用途仍然存在重大不确定性，这些未知因素涉及基本理解、有效应用和接受。这一多学科计划旨在通过围绕高热效率和超低NOx的破坏性NH3发动机概念进行灵活的多学科研究，来克服关键的相关技术、经济和社会未知因素。其目标是促进理解、技术，并最终促进适当规模和“第一时间正确”的政策。

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".
