Considerable workshavebeen conducted on the topic of ammonia and its production, storage, distribution, use and impacts (climate and public). It seems clear that the molecule will play a role in the near-and long-termfuture in supportingthe decarbonisation of our energy-hungry society. However, several questions arise from both these worksand current support given to the transition of a zero-carbon economy via ammonia. Technical barriers, economic challenges andmissingfeasibility studies along with skepticism pose a threat to the concept. Therefore, the path to progress needs to be clear in order to efficiently enable the use of ammonia as a large contributor totomorrow’s worldwide economy, utilizing novel ideasto challenge old concepts. These future trends, mostlybased on current works aforementionedin this book, will establish the scientific, industrial and governmental agendas that will foresee the creation of systems and techniques capable of using ammonia as a unique energy vector.Therefore, this chapter approaches many of these trends, seeding the grounds for ideas that will breakthrough old stigmas andposition ammonia in a leading role for a clean future.
