Can somebody please explain what problem Ammonia is solving?

This MAY help to explain the pros and cons:

Or this:

Of course it has to be “green ammonia”, not the “dirty” kind, made by burning coal, oil or natural gas.

PS> The same goes for any other alternative fuel that is in the running as the “Marine Fuel of the Future”.

Ok, so ammonia doesn’t solve any problems. “de-carbonizing” shipping is not a problem. It’s a fad. That will go away.

Well you are of course entitled to believe so, but others think differently:

Lord Kelvin, the celebrated British physicist, inventor and president of the Royal Society said that ‘‘heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.’’ In 1897 he found that ‘‘radio has no future’’ and in 1900 he assured his scientific colleagues that ‘‘X-rays are a hoax.’’

In 1932 Albert Einstein insisted that ‘‘there is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. That would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.’’

The founder of IBM, Thomas Watson said in 1943, ‘‘I think there is a world market for about five computers.’’

Electric lighting? Oxford University professor Erasmus Wilson said ‘‘When the (1878) Paris Exhibition closes electric light will close with it and no more will be heard of it.’’
