## Resource

Shipping accounts for nearly 3 percent of global CO2 emissions, and for years the industry has struggled to find a viable zero-carbon fuel. That may be changing. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how green ammonia, made from renewable energy, nitrogen, and water, is emerging as the leading candidate to replace heavy fuel oil in the maritime sector. They break down the economics behind the first commercial-scale green ammonia projects, including a $1.4 billion plant in Norway that plans to supply container ships by 2027. They also discuss the infrastructure challenge: retrofitting engines, building bunkering ports, and the risk that green ammonia simply shifts emissions elsewhere in the production chain. With the International Maritime Organization tightening its carbon targets, the race for a clean shipping fuel is on. This episode explains why ammonia, not hydrogen or methanol, is the dark horse that might actually cross the finish line. #GreenAmmonia #ShippingFuel #MaritimeDecarbonization #CleanEnergy #CarbonEmissions #IMO #RenewableEnergy #Hydrogen #Norway #FuelTransition #ZeroCarbon #Economics #Business #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #Infrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
