Amogy and Mitsubishi complete study on ammonia technology together.

Amogy and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding (MSB), a division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have successfully completed a feasibility study on the integration of their technologies within the ammonia-powered shipping and shipbuilding value chain. The study focused on collaborative concept designs involving onboard hydrogen production and utilization, utilizing Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology and Mitsubishi Ammonia Supply and Safety System (MAmmoSS).

Following the completion of the feasibility study, Amogy and MSB have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to further explore the feasibility of an ammonia fuel supply system. This collaboration aims to support the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) target of achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry by 2050. The studies conducted by the two companies confirmed the feasibility of innovative concept designs, including a power train combining ammonia cracking and hydrogen fuel cells for ships.

Ammonia, being carbon-free, has emerged as a promising fuel option for significantly reducing GHG emissions in the maritime sector. With the potential to serve as a stable and clean energy source in the future, ammonia is gaining traction as a viable alternative fuel. Amogy has developed an advanced ammonia-to-electrical power system that effectively splits liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, subsequently utilizing the hydrogen in a fuel cell to generate high-performance power.
