Ammonia fuel -
Breaking humanity's reliance on planet-warming fossil fuels means finding something to take their place.
From renewables to biomass and hydrogen, many options already exist. Another is coming in the form of ammonia.
"We are developing a technology that coverts ammonia... into a renewable fuel for use particularly in the heavy duty ground, maritime and transportation sectors," said Allison Agre, a spokeswoman for US-based startup Amogy.
Basically ammonia is fed into their technology, which separates out its hydrogen molecules for use in a fuel cell that works similar to a battery.
"It's easy to transport, it's easy to store. There's already a built-in infrastructure for it," Agre added, noting the technology is currently in the prototype phase.
