A lot of the clean energy movement’s early attention was focused on lithium-ion batteries because of the electric vehicle markets. However, lithium alone might not provide enough power to support a complete transition of heavier industries.
But all sectors need to convert to clean and sustainable energy sources if the world is to meet zero carbon goals. So, that’s why many of the heavy industries (like shipping and maritime) are searching for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries.
One of those potential alternative energy sources is ammonia, which could provide substantial industrial power and be vital in realizing a sustainable future. Experts at Chemical & Engineering News call it the fuel of the future and a perfect commodity for a hydrogen economy.
