There are many ways to make net zero fuels for our transportation energy needs... without using batteries.
"KAUST researchers show blending ammonia with DME yields low-carbon fuel with combustion properties similar to gasoline
06 April 2022
Blending ammonia with a small amount of dimethyl ether (DME) gives a liquid fuel with low-temperature combustion properties very similar to gasoline, researchers at KAUST have shown. The development of such fuels could provide an option—in addition to electric cars—for “clean†power for the transportation sector. A paper on their work is published in the journal Renewable Energy.
Ammonia as a fuel provides a promising outlook to reach zero-carbon emissions, but its certain characteristics hinder its direct application in combustion devices.
