Ammonia as an Alternative for Fuel Internal Combustion Engines (original) (raw)

Internal combustion engines have been used to power automobiles for more than a century using gasoline and diesel as the primary sources of energy. With the introduction of stricter fuel economy regulations such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in the light of environmental pollution, global warming and fuel scarcity new alternative fuels have been researched. Ammonia is such an alternative fuel used for decades and have picked up the momentum recent years. In this paper three recent attempts to use ammonia as a fuel for internal combustion engine have been reviewed.
