Ammonia doesn’t release CO2 when burnt and is a net-zero energy source when produced through clean processes, so it’s a promising solution for a country that’s wary of nuclear energy and has few renewable energy options. Their research is focused mainly on blue ammonia, where CO2 produced in the process of reforming methane for hydrogen is captured and stored underground. Read full article here
