Ammonia (NH3) is an inorganic substance considered as a promising fuel for power sector decarbonization. As a result of the absence of carbon in its structure, ammonia is capable of producing energy with zero CO2 emissions when burned. However, the combustion of NH3 presents several challenges as a result of its low reactivity and low flame speed as well as the formation of large quantities of nit
