Trade-offs of the ammonia economy

Ammonia is a low-carbon alternative fuel and energy carrier proposed to facilitate decarbonization, but there are concerns about potential environmental consequences. The research team will construct a suite of scenarios that serve as the starting point to quantifying ammonia impacts and potential mitigation strategies, and associated environmental and human health impacts. This project will help determine whether ammonia can be a successful contributor to a decarbonized global energy system that supports climate mitigation and human as well as environmental health.
