## Resource

Episode 79 of Climate Economics with Fexingo dives into green ammonia — the zero-carbon fuel that shipping giants are betting on to decarbonize global trade. Lucas and Luna unpack why ammonia, not hydrogen or methanol, is emerging as the frontrunner, how the first ammonia-powered vessel just completed its maiden voyage in May 2026, and what the economics of production, storage, and bunkering look like today. They drill into the numbers: the per-ton cost gap between grey and green ammonia, the $2.3 billion committed by the top five shipping lines to ammonia-ready engines, and the regulatory push from the International Maritime Organization that takes effect in 2027. Expect a clear-eyed look at the infrastructure hurdles — retrofitting ports, safety concerns, and the massive electrolyzer capacity needed — without the hype. This episode is for anyone who wants to understand which alternative fuel will actually move cargo, not just headlines. #GreenAmmonia #ShippingFuel #Decarbonization #IMO #AmmoniaEconomy #CleanShipping #Electrolyzers #ZeroCarbon #Hydrogen #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Sustainability #Maritime #RenewableEnergy #SupplyChain #ClimatePolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
