The combustion of ammonia for power and propulsion offers the direct application of this molecule in energy and transportation applications. However, there are significant challenges related to ammonia combustion including low flammability and potentially high emissions. Blending of ammonia with hydrogen or hydrocarbons offers opportunities to improve combustibility. This presentations discusses challenges related to ammonia combustion and current state-of-the-art in overcoming these challenges with research into chemical kinetics, laminar and turbulent flames, and engine and turbine systems.
