World's first ammonia-powered car engine unveiled by China's GAC

China's state-owned automobile manufacturer GAC said it has developed the world's first ammonia-powered car engine. "We've overcome the pain point of ammonia being difficult to burn quickly and put the fuel to use in the passenger car industry," GAC said. The 2.0-litre engine can safely burn liquid ammonia, producing 120 kilowatts of electricity and 90% less carbon emissions, GAC claimed.
