Keeping the (ammonia) flame alive

December 6, 2025

The chemistry of ammonia under pressure shows that even a small dose of hydrogen can turn a fickle flame into a steadier source of clean power.

Fuelling the future of sustainable shipping

December 6, 2025

A new engine concept turns ammonia into its own source of hydrogen, charting new waters for cleaner, more efficient shipping without the need to store hydrogen onboard.

Making ammonia burn cleanly at industrial heat

December 6, 2025

A single-atom platinum catalyst lights ammonia at 200 °C and keeps it burning steadily at 1,100 °C with low NOx, generating high-grade, carbon-free heat for steel, cement and chemicals.

Powering a shared energy future

December 6, 2025

New modelling shows that linking ASEAN’s power grids could accelerate the region’s path to net zero, cutting costs and easing the burden of a just energy transition.
