General Electric's turbine manufacturing unit said on Wednesday it had agreed with Japan's IHI Corp to develop gas turbines operating on ammonia to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

GE and IHI would work to develop technology that would allow some of GE's existing gas turbine products to safely burn 100% ammonia by 2030, the companies each said in separate, almost identical statements on Wednesday.

"We will focus our efforts on satisfying domestic and overseas demand for large-scale ammonia gas turbines, stimulating further demand for fuel ammonia and expanding the fuel ammonia value chain," Hiroshi Ide, president of IHI Corp said.

galaxiescrash This is good if you consider the possibility that they may be emitting ammonia from their manufacturing of cleaning products. If it’s separated into a factory and not off-setting the impact on the environment then I don’t think this would be smart.

NH3 has three hydrogen and one nitrogen atom which makes it zero carbon. We need a comprehensive energy plan not just this wind and solar nonsense.
