This research seeks to overcome technical hurdles to efficient combustion of
renewable ammonia in on-farm equipment. Two areas where ammonia fuel could replace
petroleum are in grain drying and for on-site power generation. In the project,
ammonia will be invested as the primary fuel in a grain drying equipment. The work also seeks
