What is green Green ammonia?
And they are claiming it will be a new superfuel.

Ammonia is NH3. I thought farmers used ammonia as a fertilizer.
Did I read the article right, they are calling it a superfuel? Can you burn Ammonia in Tractors?

I'm guessing Green means they will make Hydrogen from solar energy and then add Nitrogen under pressure.

Never heard of ammonia being a super fuel.

Is Cummings working on an engine to burn Ammonia?

When I think of ammonia, my first thought is removing chicken poo from the hen house. Would a spark blow up the hen house?
That would be a fast way to remove the poo or get covered in poo. lol
green ammonia
 
And you made sure to spread it going into the wind.....

All the other chores seemed less onerus after cleaning the chicken house on a hot July afternoon when the corn was laid by and the oats weren't ready.....
 
Cummings can't be working on such nonsense. Cummins might be though. So if I make ammonia from some so-called green method the ammonia is green and green in color too? Boy these fools are just going to drive us nuts with green to the point I will want even more red or some other color.
 
What a rabbit hole you sent me down Geo!

I had read a little about it but now I've spent a lot of time with Duck-Duck-Go and find there is a LOT of info out there.

So much it's hard to grasp all the facts. First, Green simply means it's made with carbon-free energy. Wind, Sun, or hydro-electric produced.

Next, and I had no idea of this, it can be used to fuel engines, apparently needs some so-called pilot fuel to start and maintain combustion.

Anyway, this article condenses a lot of facts in a short read.

The tidbit about energy density vs batteries was very interesting.

Thanks for a great topic.
