Abstract This work reports that plasma can simultaneously reduce NOx emission and extend the lean blowoff limits of ammonia flames. The results show dramatic differences from similar work using hydrocarbon fuels in which plasma promoted NOx emission. Therefore, this work could lay the foundation of plasma application in practical ammonia combustion.
