Amogy (Booth 4030) is at the expo to demonstrate how its integrated ammonia-to-electric power system provides a mature, scalable and highly efficient method for generating electrical power in combination with hydrogen fuel cells.
Amogy’s patented ammonia-to-electrical power system splits – or ‘cracks’ – liquid ammonia into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen. The hydrogen is then funneled into a fuel cell, generating high-performance power with zero carbon emissions. This technology offers a sustainable, clean energy solution tailored for industries such as maritime shipping and power generation.
Visitors to the booth can find a model of the world’s first carbon-free ammonia-powered vessel, which is set to sail later this summer and serve as a compelling proof of concept of Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system. The tugboat, named the NH3 Kraken, will highlight the feasibility of using ammonia as a clean fuel to help drive the energy transition in the maritime industry.
The tugboat demonstration will be a significant step toward reducing global carbon emissions and moving the maritime industry closer to the International Maritime Organization’s target of net zero emissions by 2050.
The company believes that collaboration is crucial when it comes to reaching maritime net zero targets. Partnering with organizations that share the same ethos and goals can help overcome challenges, accelerate innovation and advance technology. The team has come to Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo to meet like-minded individuals they can work with to help expedite the commercialization of ammonia-to-power solutions for the maritime industry and support global sustainability goals.
“Meeting the maritime industry’s aggressive goals for decarbonization is a monumental, but completely achievable task – as long as we have all hands on deck,” Christian Berg, managing director, Amogy, told EHM on the first day of the show.
“It requires us to rethink nearly every component of a ship’s propulsion system, which will truly be an industry-wide effort. We’re happy to be here to show our peers and colleagues how Amogy is contributing with our ammonia-powered solutions and look forward to meeting others in the maritime engineering ecosystem that we can collaborate with to push the industry forward, toward its aggressive goals, more quickly.”
