China’s state-owned shipbuilding industry has also unveiled a design for thorium-powered container ships that could potentially achieve emission-free maritime transport.

They'll definitely go to war with China to stop this

Chinese firms are also building and deploying a few different ammonia fueled vessels - which can be produced from renewables anywhere you have a plant

Does that work by combustion? Wouldn't it emit tons of NOx?

The dual fuel one that is already around (achieved some milestone this year from memory) has an addictive or catalytic converter

(Dual fuel because ammonia combusts poorly, but I'm pretty sure there's a couple fuel cell ammonia prototype ships in development)
