It is not yet clear of GAC intends on selling ammonia-powered cars to the public car auto cars
showcased its special 2.0-liter engine at its annual technology showcase. This engine is said to produce 161 hp while emitting 90% less carbon dioxide than if it were powered by petrol.
“We’ve overcome the pain point of ammonia being difficult to burn quickly and put the fuel to use in the passenger car industry,” GAC R&D center engineer Qi Hongzhong told the media. “Its value to society and for commercial uses are worth anticipating.” This isn’t the first time that an internal combustion engine has been developed to run on ammonia. In fact, it is already being explored as an alternative fuel in the trucking and shipping industries but GAC is the first to explore its potential use in passenger cars.
notes that it has around half the energy density of petrol but importantly, it does not emit carbon, hydrocarbon, or CO2 when it is combusted.Using ammonia as a fuel source has its risks. Exposure to enough of it can be fatal to humans and it is primarily used in agriculture. A key reason why it has already been explored in the trucking and shipping industries as a fuel source is that these industries are experts in distributing and handling toxic substances like ammonia.
