Indeed it looks like the investment in upscaling ammonia as a fuel is going faster than demonstration that this can be done with acceptably low ammonia, nitrogen oxides and nitrous oxide emissions.

Another use of reactive nitrogen... TriNitroToluene (TNT) mixed with ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

Detonation converts it back to N2, H2, carbon monoxide, soot & water... And some ammonia pollution too.
