Saudi Arabia Makes Maiden Shipment Of The Fuel To Japan...

Saudi Arabia and Japan have joined forces to use blue ammonia as a source of electricity with zero carbon emissions, and the former has sent over the first shipment of the same for use in power generation. The collaboration is important for both countries: Japan aims to be a world-leader in the use of hydrogen; Saudi, a leading oil producer, wants to clean up its reputation as a producer of dirty energy.
Ammonia contains about 18% hydrogen by weight, which gives it an advantage over fossil fuels as it releases no carbon dioxide when combusted in a thermal power plant. Blue ammonia is used as feedstock to make blue hydrogen, essentially hydrogen that is made from fossil fuels but the carbon dioxide produced during the process is captured and stored rather than released into the atmosphere.
