Decarbonised Clean Marine: Green Ammonia Thermal Propulsion (MariNH3)
Lead Research Organisation:
UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM
Department Name: Faculty of Engineering
Abstract
Battery electrified power is predicted to become the dominant mode of propulsion in future light duty transport. For sustainable heavy duty applications challenges remain around practical range, payload and total cost. Currently there is no economically viable single solution. For commercial marine vessels the problem is compounded by long service lives, with bulk carriers, tankers and container ships the main contributors to greenhouse gases. Ammonia (NH3) has excellent potential to play a significant role as a sustainable future fuel in both retrofitted and advanced engines. However, significant uncertainties remain around safe and effective end use, with these unknowns spanning across fundamental understanding, effective application and acceptance. This multi-disciplinary programme seeks to overcome the key related technical, economic and social unknowns through flexible, multidisciplinary research set around disruptive NH3 engine concepts capable of high thermal efficiency and ultra low NOx. The goal is to accelerate understanding, technologies and ultimately policies which are appropriately scaled and "right first time".

| Description | The work is focused on experimental and analytical research of higher speed four stroke ammonia fuelled internal combustion engines. Key findings include: 1) It is possible to run spark ignition engines on 100% ammonia from ~1/3 load upwards, however high engine-out ammonia emission levels are incurred 2) A novel lean burn operating strategy has been developed that involves ammonia and hydrogen co-fuelling, which ultimately enables vastly improved combustion and emissions over the entire engine operating map 3) It is possible to obtain the hydrogen co-fuelling via on-board ammonia cracking, with a real cracker fitted to the engine test bed within the programme 4) Key barriers to adoption remain, including improving safety and perception from crews and the general public. The project has produced a number of publications and online articles to help address these issues |
| Exploitation Route | A number of spin out projects are already underway to take some of the technologies developed forward into production solutions with key industry partners (for both marine and stationary power generation) |
