If we went back to gravel every where lung cancer and asthma deaths would be 10 or 20 fold.

"The hydrogen produced in nuclear plants can be utilized to serve many industries such as renewable fuels production, oil and metals refining, ammonia synthesis, mining operations, and mobility in sectors such as heavy trucks, buses, and even air travel. The companies also are well positioned to support the US Department of Energy’s developing hydrogen hubs. (Earlier post.)Originally posted by TOM4CWB View PostThese plants can do H2 and NH3 as well.

If the NH3 is produced using energy or waste energy/heat from nuclear plants, then it truly would be close to zero emissions.Originally posted by TOM4CWB View PostThese plants can do H2 and NH3 as well.

Now if only the radical greens would get out of the way so we can get back to building nuclear plants again. Otherwise this is going to be no different than the hydrocarbon powered EV's, and the farthest thing from being zero emissions. Pretending of course that there is any reason why we should be concerned about CO2 emissions...Comment

Aviation H2 selects liquid ammonia as carbon-free fuel of choiceOriginally posted by TOM4CWB View Post
28 April 2022
Following a three-month feasibility study, Aviation H2—an Australian-owned company seeking to achieve net-zero emissions in the aerospace sector through green hydrogen—has selected the use of liquid ammonia to turbofan combustion as the best route to carbon-free flight and will soon start modifying turbofan engines to test and prove the concept.
The company, which is launching a $500,000 capital raise via the online platform VCEX to fund the construction of its first modification prototype, says the results from their studies were very positive. Their research shows that converting a Falcon 50 to Liquid Ammonia Turbofan Combustion is the most efficient and commercially viable avenue to building a hydrogen-powered plane.

The company’s team of engineers say they now have a clear pathway to having Australia’s first hydrogen-fuelled aircraft in the skies by the middle of 2023."
"There are multiple reasons why liquid ammonia was selected. Chiefly its advantages include high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen density that makes it lighter and easier to transport while providing a greater energy conversion rate. In fact, the stored weight of liquid ammonia energy is substantially lighter than gaseous hydrogen and can be kept at a much lower tank pressure.

Samsung Heavy and Seaborg to develop floating nuclear power plant combined with hydrogen and ammonia plants
09 April 2022
Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Seaborg signed a partnership agreement to develop floating nuclear power plants based on Seaborg’s inherently safe Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR).
647C3B25-7C07-451E-BA80-4F3F70FF3621
The floating nuclear power plant comes as a turn-key product, ready to be moored at an industrial harbor. In the harbor, a transmission cable will be connected to the electric grid onshore. An optional solution is to place a hydrogen or ammonia production plant next to the floating nuclear power plant utilizing the CO2-free fission energy to produce hydrogen and ammonia."Comment
