A start-up by four MIT Ph.D. Graduates, Amogy, has successfully tested a zero-emissions semi-truck powered by sustainable ammonia fuel. The customized Freightliner Cascadia truck went on a test run inside the Stony Brook University campus in New York. The custom setup managed to accumulate 900 kilowatt hours of total stored energy after eight minutes of fueling. Ammonia has an abundance of nitrogen & hydrogen compounds making it a promising base for green fuel. After combustion it does not emit any carbon pollution and is easier to store and transport. The only byproducts of its usage are nitrogen and water. The … Continue reading MIT Alumni Build Zero-Emissions Semi-Truck Powered by Sustainable Ammonia Fuel
