The second MariNH3 conference, held in Nottingham on June 26 2024, brought together over 100 delegates to discuss the progress of the £5.5 million research programme aimed at decarbonising commercial shipping through green ammonia.
Dr Alexis Cova-Bonillo explains the work being undertaken at University of Birmingham to overcome the technical and logistical hurdles that need to be tackled before ammonia is adopted widely in the transportation sector.
Dr Laura Norris takes a look at the current state of play in the adoption of ammonia when it comes to policy, legislation and market demand.
MariNH3 partners - University of Nottingham and University of Brighton - have won a new project to commission world-class large single cylinder engine testing facilities for academia and industry to accelerate disruptive high power decarbonised engine technologies and fuels from within the UK.
Dr Ajith Ambalakatte is a Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham's Powertrain Research Centre. His focus on MariNH3 is to understand the fundamentals and application of ammonia in internal combustion engines
Over 80 delegates from industry and academia gathered in Nottingham for the MariNH3 conference on 28 June, where the research team shared updates on the progress that’s been made during the first 12 months of the five-year research programme.
MariNH3 Research Fellows and PhD students came together face to face for the first time for a two-day event at University of Nottingham enabling them to get to know one another, encourage collaboration and to help them define and drive their own career development.
Burning five times slower than fossil fuels and producing NOx emissions, researchers are invested in developing faster and cleaner combustion systems for green ammonia and exploring retrofit engine technology solutions.
