Hi there Robert ..LOVE your blog.I'm also looking for a CO2 and emissions -FREE car, as I live on a mountain and the bike is impossible. For some years I've done a basic blog on NH3 fuel, totally ignored..here: http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/
You have to invest energy to make ammonia. Of course, but all the sources agree that with new technology it would be cheaper and safer than gasoline or diesel, and ideal for large or small scale on the spot production with wind power.
Plus of course you don't have to extract, refine and ship it round the world. We go to war over oilfields but anyone can make NH3. Even if ammonia is produced using fossil fuels it has the huge advantage of being CO2 and toxic emissions-FREE when burned, (you're burning the hydrogen in it) which would save 100's of 1000's of air pollution deaths in cities.
Ammonia or 'Green Gasoline' has been suppressed for a century in favour of fossil fuels.However recently Toyota produced a CO2-free ammonia fuelled spotscar, and New Scientist magazine finally published an article totally validating these claims.. check it out here: http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/
About LFTR, maybe you're right, i'll check it out. all the best to you.... mike
Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to figure out how much energy is required to make NH3. On nh3fuelassociation.org, it just says that it can be made from renewable sources, without saying at what cost. So I searched "nh3 from nuclear" and found some technical about atoms and such... and this site... http://bravenewclimate.com/2011/10/04/np-nh3-killer-app/ which led me here... http://bravenewclimate.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/nuclear-ammonia-2011-sendrev.pdf It suggests that we would need about 1500 typical large power (nuke) plants in order to make all the NH3 needed to replace "everything". Sounds rather daunting, but we must do it!
