Furthermore, we discuss nitrogen-based fuel applications ranging from combustion engines to gas turbines, as well as their exploitation by suggested end-uses.

We assess much of the existing literature on the reactions involved in the ammonia to nitrogen atom pathway in nitrogen-based fuel combustion. We cover the production, distribution, and storage of nitrogen-based fuels. In this paper, we discuss the progress and current research on utilization of nitrogen-based fuels in power applications, covering the complete fuel cycle. Nitrogen-based fuels pose one possible synthetic fuel pathway. Their economic viability, environmental impact, and compatibility with current infrastructure and technologies are fuel and power source specific. Synthetic fuels derived from renewable energies can act as energy storage media, thus mitigating the effects of fossil fuels on environment and health.

Alternative fuels are essential to enable the transition to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply.
