Based on the provided excerpt: A Japanese consortium (NEDO, Mitsui Chemicals, Maruzen Petrochemical, Toyo Engineering, and Sojitz Machinery) achieved 85% ammonia co-firing (by heat input) across an entire naphtha-cracking furnace using a test furnace—signaling a major step toward decarbonizing ethylene production by replacing much of the fossil fuel heat with ammonia.

What do you think will be the biggest hurdle to scaling this—NOx control, burner/furnace retrofits, ammonia supply and cost, or safety and permitting?
