New York–based startup Amogy thinks the key to solving this problem lies in harnessing ammonia-one of the world’s most widely shipped chemicals-to power electric tractors, trucks, and even ships.Ĭasey Crownhart, our climate reporter, visited its headquarters to hear more about the team’s big ideas. And while we’re making steady progress, there are parts of the puzzle that are harder to solve, like vehicles that need to cover long distances or run for long durations without stopping to charge. Transportation is a huge piece of the climate puzzle, accounting for over 15% of worldwide global greenhouse gas emissions. This unlikely fuel could power cleaner trucks and ships
