The fuel ship with no carbon leaks will only reach the water by 2026 due to infrastructure problems and other waste.
The Viking Energy Oil supply, which undergoes a unique modernization for ammonia fuel, will be able to go to the sea no earlier than 2026. It is two years later than the original planned. After the travel equipment is completed, the ship will become the first medium of the world that can operate exclusively with ammonia, which will be an important step in reducing carbon dioxide leaks in the sea industry, reports the IEEE Spectrum.
Experts explain the delay in the complexity of the infrastructure required for the safe use of ammonia – ammonia is a toxic, explosive and corrosive substance, therefore it requires special pipelines, storage facilities and vehicles with hermetic and resistant materials for corrosion.
In addition to infrastructure difficulties, anxiety and aspects of the environment are caused -if carbon contributes to global warming, then nitrogen oxides that can develop when ammonia burns are deadly for breathing. Therefore, new power plants should have emissions control systems that prevent harmful environmental connections.
One of the promising solutions may be the use of fuel elements in ammonia, which produces electricity without the development of nitrogen oxides. Refusal to burns gives you to maintain nitrogen in its inert form, eliminating potential health risks. The use of ammonia catalysts is also considered to be, taking seamless ammonia and rotting it into immovable ingredients.
While Viking Energy is preparing to go to sea in 2026, other companies are also moving in the direction of ammonia fuel. Thus, the South Korean ship manufacture of Hanwha Ocean, along with American Baker Hughes, is planning to develop a commercial bleaching with ammonia by 2027. They work on creating gas turbines capable of working in 100% ammonia fuel, as well as double installations that support natural gas.
Despite the difficulties, experts believe that ammonia can be the main fuel of the sea, even if this process will not be fast.
We reminded, earlier it was reported that the first world flight in the world was riding the passengers.
The first air electric car was shown in China
