Amazon Bankrolls Startup That's Developing Ammonia as a Fuel                             Source:  Amogy Tractor Powered by Ammonia With Zero CO2 Emissions A Brooklyn New York-based startup, Amogy, is developing an ammonia-based energy technology that is designed to eventually replace the diesel engine in the heavy duty transportation industry.  The highly efficient, ammonia-to-power technology is awesome.  Amogy was founded in 2020 by four MIT PhDs who share the same vision for zero emissions transportation.  Their zero emissions technology is so impressive that the startup is being bankrolled by none other than Amazon. Amogy has already achieved a world's first with their farm tractor powered by ammonia.  And, their new innovative technology is not just for tractors.  They believe it can be used for trucks, ships and other heavy duty travel vehicles. How Does It Work? A standard John Deere tractor is retrofitted with a standard liquid fuel tank and highly efficient ammonia cra
