Ammonia as a fuel for the maritime energy transition
Ammonia is hard to evaporate and to ignite. It burns slowly, is corrsive, and extremly toxic. Why and how is this fluid supposed to deliver a significant contribution to maritme energy transtion? Which are the benefits? And how to handle the risks?

The Project AWAMO aims to give answers for society and experts. It deals with comparison of ammonia and extracted hydrogen as a ship engien fuel with other alternative sources of energy for coastal shipping.
Furthermore, using ammonia and hydrogen in a large medium-speed four-stroke research combustion engine with an extremly high stroke/bore ratio the AWAMO project will further complete the understanding of how to achieve a clean and efficient ammonia combustion as a result of providing favourable combustion conditions.
