Ammonia as a fuel has emerged as one of the likely front-runners in the shipping industry’s decarbonization path.
Green ammonia can be produced from renewable power by electrolysis of H2O, ultimately making it a zero carbon fuel.

Monday April 19, 2021 Shipping: ammonia role in decarbonisation. File Image / Pixabay. Guidelines to support best practices for safeguards design and arrangements when using ammonia as a shipping fuel are being developed by
Maersk and
Lloyd s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and the
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping supported by A.P. Moller-Maersk,
MAN Energy Solutions, LR s decarbonisation programme manager,
Charles Haskell, said that collaboration is vital if the shipping industry is to successfully meet the IMO 2050 targets . We look forward to working with the project partners, who each represent different areas of the supply chain, in developing guidance, risk mitigation measures and best practice on using ammonia so that we can support the safe uptake of the fuel, Haskell said.
