Ammonia offers a more reasonable liquid storage configuration compared to hydrogen, maintaining stability at room temperature under 16 bar or atmospheric pressure at minus 33 degrees Celsius. Despite its decent energy density and zero-carbon profile, ammonia remains exceptionally toxic, meaning a single containment breach within enclosed spaces can prove fatal to shipboard crews.
Consequently, the global shipping industry is rapidly shifting focus toward methanol, an alcohol fuel that remains perfectly stable as a liquid at ambient temperature and pressure. Methanol requires no complex cryogenic engineering and can be easily stored within lightly modified standard fuel tanks, making it a highly versatile alternative.
