Whoever came up with this just went after the carbon buzzword. Ammonia is BAD.
There’s a good reason industries opt for R134a instead of ammonia in industrial cooling applications. Ammonia is fantastic in its physical properties, but dealing with storing ammonia and possible leaks is a nightmare. And that’s in a closed cycle! I can’t imagine the absolute cluster it would be to have that on a moving vessel that needs to be refueled all the time.
Sounds like someone needs to start making catalytic converters for nitrogen oxides.
This article seems to omit the obvious solution to the same problem with diesel.

Bring back sails.
They are! They are using kites to save on fuel, with great results.
Yay!
Return to tradition.
I did some web searching, and yeah. Bring back sails!
