Course Description

Introduction

Historical data on energy demand shows that during the past few decades, there has been an increase in energy consumption, which has led to a commensurate growth in carbon dioxide emissions and its negative effects on the environment worldwide. Because of the growing focus on low-carbon fuels, carbon-free hydrogen fuel is predicted to grow in importance over the next several years. Given the significant modifications needed for hydrogen energy systems and applications, ammonia seems to play a key role in the advancement of the hydrogen economy. Ammonia is seen as a potential solution to a number of issues with the use of hydrogen as a fuel due to its many advantageous qualities. Ammonia has been used for many years in a variety of industries, including refrigerants, cleaning agents, industrial fluids, fertilizers, and many more. However, from the standpoint of fuels, ammonia stands out as a promising fuel that can help lessen the reliance on fossil fuel-based energy production due to the necessity of moving towards carbon-free fuels in this period. Furthermore, ammonia is accepted as a clean solution, generated using sustainable energy sources.

Ammonia fuel cells are essential to developing ammonia energy in this sense. It is predicted that the next revolution in power generation will come from sources that are more efficient than combustion engines, fuel cells, and other renewable energy sources. The worldwide developments in ammonia-based energy production technologies are described in this training course. Additionally, the goals of a number of multinational partnerships centered on the advancement of energy technologies based on ammonia are explained. Recently developed ammonia engines are described, along with their benefits and drawbacks. Additionally, ideas for the study and development of ammonia gas turbines are highlighted.

Finally, a summary of ammonia fuel cell development and a description of the present difficulties these technologies confront are provided. There are also suggestions included on how to improve the current direct type ammonia fuel cells' performance.
