GAC is 50% owned by Toyota. Running a car on ammonia would produce zero carbon dioxide.

This is another alternative to electric vehicles

Without CO2, plants aren’t going to like it.

Is this a Bill Gates idea to reduce global population?

One of the byproducts of generating ammonia is carbon dioxide.

Doesn’t urine have a lot of ammonia in it?

I got to wonder at what point did we lose such reasoning capability that we accept a wacko edict from the EPA that carbon dioxide is a pollutant?

And somehow we’re better off replacing it with extremely toxic gas like ammonia?

I have been around plants that use and produce ammonia and the safety considerations are pretty heavy duty. As a matter of fact I had to make a sales call to the purchasing office at a phosphate plant in Florida one time. I had to watch a 10 minute video on what to do in the event that ammonia was released in an accident before I was allowed to go in and talk with the purchasing manager. Basically the instructions were to run in the opposite direction. And if the wind was blowing it in your direction you were just SOL

The watermelons won’t allow any type of personal vehicle no matter how clean. That’s not their goal.

This headline is ridiculous. Gas is toxic. Every car runs on toxic chemicals. I guess a hydrogen car is not so much toxic as it is a bomb. But ammonia is a few Hydrogen atoms with one Nitrogen atom. We have ammonia everywhere in this world. It forms naturally and we can easily make it. It does not explode. But in a gas form in a confined area it can be fatal. Just ask India. I believe we are talking about a long time Japanese car that is being produced in China as a demo. Japan is not buying the concept of all electric cars. They are researching lots of cleaner fuels besides lithium.

There are two major hurdles for using ammonia as a fuel source. First, is the obvious one in that it’s a toxic substance. Ammonia is a solvent and can dissolve alkali metals and enough exposure of ammonia in gas or liquid form can lead to death in both humans and animal.

Well back to the tried and true Hydrogen fuel
