MariNH3 is a £5.5m EPSRC-funded research programme focused on overcoming the key technical, economic and social unknowns of using ammonia in shipping.
Now over half way through its five-year term, the 2025 conference will showcase the significant advances being made across the three themes of:
- Acceptance – overcoming the key issues around the acceptance of ammonia in commercial marine engines
- Fundamentals – improving fundamental understanding of disruptive fuel, combustion, and emissions after-treatment solutions
- Application – uncovering ideal applications for varying scales of marine propulsion.
The programme includes technical presentations, a poster exhibition and keynote addresses from leading experts in the field. It is an opportunity for academics, engineers and policymakers who have an interest in the use and development of green ammonia as a zero-carbon fuel to discuss the challenges and opportunities across the whole value chain.
Join this conference to:
- Develop your understanding of the use and potential of green ammonia as a fuel
- Hear from leading experts in the field and discover the significant technical challenges that have already been overcome – and what remains
- Gain insight to the market and requirements for new technology, processes and legislation
- Network with academics, engineers, manufacturers, OEMs and policy makers/advisors and explore opportunities to collaborate on new projects
- Meet the MariNH3 research team from University of Nottingham, University of Birmingham, University of Brighton, Cardiff University and STFC.
