And the Norwegian company H2Carrier recently received approval in principle for its concept for an industrial-scale floating production unit to make green ammonia at sea. Airplanes, for example, won’t be able to fly long distances on battery power. That variability will also strain the electrical systems.

Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships. A large merchant ship, capable of carrying thousands of containers, could be powered by two (or more) 30-megawatt reactors. Alexander Piragis/Alamy Batteries are an obvious nonstarter, Emblemsvåg adds.

Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on battery power means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. To take one example, batteries. Cold starts mean more pollution.
