Special session on ammonia as a fuel for internal combustion engine: ACTIVATE project

Aims of the special session

The Special Session on ACTIVATE project is a 2nd promotional event during the project implementation. It is expected to present the motivations and objectives of the project but also show progress after the 2nd year of the project execution. ACTIVATE project is aimed at developing a new technology for direct ammonia injection to help improve the performance of ammonia engine used in the agricultural industry. One of the biggest challenges in facing up the climate crisis is the transition to CO2 free energy supply making it green and safe. For energetic sector, responsible for electricity and heat generation, the need for alternative fuel is highly demanded. The fossil fuels must be replaced with a sustainable, renewable and carbon free energy sources, e.g., a promising carbon free fuel is ammonia (NH3). It is considered as a chemical storage medium for hydrogen that can be easily stored and transported. Ammonia has the potential to play a key role in managing energy grids integrated with intermittent and renewable sources by providing a solution to store energy. As a source of heat and electricity for small and medium application can be seen in application of the internal combustion engine
