Abstract: Safety First! The cover picture illustrates the use of nitrogen-based fuels, which are a proposed pathway for chemical hydrogen storage in which atmospheric nitrogen becomes the storage hub for renewable hydrogen. A model nitrogen-based fuel, consisting of an aqueous solution of urea and ammonium nitrate, is described and assessed for safety, chemical stability, and continuous combustion stability. The steady combustion of the fuel was demonstrated at 10 MPa, and thermal analysis under an ambient pressure dry air flow in the range of 25–500 °C showed that the monofuel does not react with atmospheric oxygen in a ventilated open system; only endothermic thermal processes were observed in the condensed phase. The fuel described herein is an excellent gas generator with a potential effluent composition of 73.0 % H2O, 21.6 % N2, and 5.4 % CO2, and acts an environmentally friendly working fluid for potential use as a safe and effective synthetic fuel.
