I have some concerns about the production of ammonia, especially if it depends on energy from fossil fuels, where they are getting their hydrogen from, and the impact of fuel leaks, but hopefully it's better than what shipping uses currently.

@jonpsp Ammonia's the higher energy density equivalent of hydrogen as a fuel. It's a lot easier to store, can be turned into fertilizer (fairly) easily, but it is rather poisonous.

Oh well, can't have everything
