Congratulations again to A.P. Moller - Maersk and project partners @Deltamarin@MANEnergySolut2
@EltronicFuelTech for achieving this important milestone. 10/10
Beyond fuels,ย cold-ironing (shore-to-ship power), wind propulsion via rotor sails or kites, and operational efficiencies such as AI driven weather routing are helping to decarbonise shipping by reducing the need for GHG related fuels. 3/
๐ก If you are wondering how this complex puzzle could fit together and what it means for ammonia, please get in touch to join the conversation. Atoma's Analytical Platform enables a better understanding of the technology options to decarbonize across sectors and use cases. 9/
This marks a crucial step in deploying ammonia as a future low-carbon marine fuel solution. Ammonia is one of many 'Low-Carbon Solutions' available to marine in its effort to decarb. Other fuel options include low carbon LNG, methanol, bio-oil & H2, each with pros and cons 2/
โGreat news for fans of Ammonia as a Low Carbon Solution. @Maersk & partners achieved a key milestone in sustainable shipping; their ammonia-powered container ship design received approval in principle from both the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Lloyd's Register 1/
Atoma assesses all technologies that limit global warming โ from tech designed to decarbonise our existing systems to the technologies that will create the low-to-no carbon systems of the future. Taking a holistic approach we also cover direct cooling technologies 3/
@Climeworks Combined with effective carbon storage DAC this could be a transformational climate solution at scale, but also as a foundational component for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors via production of e-fuels and non-hydrocarbon based chemicals. 3/3
@Climeworks has just announced a next generation Direct Air Capture (DAC) Technology to scale up to megaton capacity with capture of double the CO2 for half the energy. 2/
@Maersk In the case of ammonia, this means understanding the potential role of ammonia into: (i)ย fertiliser (the traditional demand centre for ammonia); (ii) powergen (as some countries target co-firing with coal to reduce the emissions profile of their coal fired power fleet); and 7/
