Is ammonia against global warming?

Additional Details

Don%26#039;t you know ammonia peculiarity?
Ammonia is produced from hydrogen(hydrogen can be produced from sun/wind energy) and nitrogen in new industrial plants at a very high efficiency(since about 1980-1985)...
Then ammonia is cracked into hydrogen and nytrogen without problems...
So ammonia is used as fuel in some car prototypes...

Best Answer

Ammonia used as fuel is against global warming.
Ammonia has the advantages of a high hydrogen density and a well developed technology for production and distribution.
If it%26#039;s produced from renewable energy, it has the advantages that there is no CO2 emission at the end user.
The obstacle is the toxicity of ammonia.
Storage of ammonia in metal ammine salts(example Mg(NH3)6Cl2) maintains the high volumetric hydrogen density while solving the problems of handling ammonia.

• Are you asking if ammonia will react with CO2 (which is an acid) in water to form ammonium bicarbonate, thereby removing CO2 from the atmosphere? If so, the answer is no. Most atmospheric ammonia is tied up in sulfate aerosol as ammonium bisulfate, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium methanesulfonate. But since those inorganic particles form a large fraction of the cloud condensation nucleii (CCN), and clouds are very important in determining the radiative balance of the planet, ammonia does play a role in global climate. It just doesn%26#039;t do anything to regulate atmospheric CO2.
• Ammonia isn%26#039;t a factor in the global warming discussion because it is so soluble: it will wash out of the atmosphere with the first rain.
