Anhydrous ammonia (NH₃) is among the alternative fuels currently being studied for the decarbonisation of maritime transport. It produces no CO₂ at the exhaust, but introduces significant challenges in terms of safety, onboard systems and secondary emissions. Engines and fuel cells are under advanced development. In the yacht sector, adoption could – if it happens – start from large units
