Y. — A tugboat powered by ammonia sailed for the first time Sunday in the Hudson River to show how the maritime industry can slash planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions. The vessel used to run on diesel fuel.
The New York-based startup company Amogy bought the 67-year-old ship to power it in a new, carbon-free way using ammonia and an electric fuel cell. The tugboat's first sail is a milestone in a race to develop zero-emissions propulsion. Emissions from shipping have increased over the last decade — to about 3 percent of the global total according to the United Nations— as vessels have gotten much bigger, delivering more cargo per trip, using immense amounts of fuel oil.

Commerce Department is seeking a ban on the sale of connected and autonomous vehicles in the U.S. that are equipped with Chinese and Russian software and hardware with the stated goal of protecting national security and drivers.
