, a Brooklyn, New York-based startup, demonstrated a zero-emissions, ammonia-fueled tractor in late May 2022. For the demonstration, Amogy blended its ammonia-to-power technology into a standard mid-size John Deere tractor, giving it a 100 kW capacity. The technology uses ammonia cracking modules with a hybrid fuel cell system combined with a liquid storage tank. During the demonstration, the ammonia-fueled tractor was operated for several periods and there was a refueling.
However, it should be mentioned that, because of its toxicity, ammonia is not viable for consumer vehicles, which is why Amogy is targeting commercial vehicles only. We do not envision ammonia being an active fuel for consumer markets, where the strict safety training and protocol implementation is much harder to achieve.Per dollar-per-energy basis, ammonia presents about 2x larger cost compared to conventional fuels .
Yes, the tractor had to be converted to an all-electric powertrain from a diesel powertrain so that the electricity produced by the ammonia could power the tractor directly. While it may be difficult or costly to retrofit diesel vehicles as electric vehicles, the increasing development and prevalence of electric vehicles means that the automotive industry already has the capacity and knowledge to design and build electric powertrains that could easily be fueled by ammonia.
Is there a warranty for the technology that makes it possible to convert a gas or diesel tractor to run on ammonia?How long can you run a tractor on ammonia before it needs a refill?
