Amogy, a leading provider of mature and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, has partnered with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MSB), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, to conduct a feasibility study on collaboration concept designs for onboard hydrogen production and utilization. The study focused on integrating Amogy’s innovative ammonia-cracking technology with Mitsubishi’s Ammonia Supply and Safety System (MAmmoSS®).
The collaboration between Amogy and MSB aims to develop an efficient and sustainable ammonia fuel supply system to support the International Maritime Organization’s target of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry by 2050. The feasibility studies confirmed the potential of two collaboration concept designs: a power train combining ammonia cracking and hydrogen fuel cell for ships, and a hydrogen supply facility for ammonia fuel engines.
Ammonia is considered a promising carbon-free fuel that can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry. Amogy’s breakthrough technology converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, which is then used to power fuel cells, generating high-performance electricity. Through this collaboration, MSB is committed to promoting decarbonization in the maritime sector and contributing to a carbon-neutral society by developing innovative marine ammonia handling systems.
