Amogy and MSB jointly explore potential opportunities to
collaborate with their respective technologies and commercial
applications across the ammonia-powered shipping and shipbuilding
value chain.
Amogy, a provider of mature, scalable, and efficient
ammonia-to-power solutions, and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
(MSB), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have
completed the feasibility study of collaboration concept designs of
onboard hydrogen production and utilization with Amogy’s
ammonia-cracking technology and Mitsubishi Ammonia Supply and
Safety System (MAmmoSS®).
Amogy and MSB concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to
undertake feasibility studies on an ammonia fuel supply system,
with the aim of contributing to a new target set by the
International Maritime Organization (IMO) of net zero greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry by or around 2050. The
studies were conducted by the two companies to confirm the
feasibility of two collaboration concept designs – a power train
combining ammonia cracking and hydrogen fuel cell for ships – a
hydrogen supply facility for supplying hydrogen as pilot fuel to
ammonia fuel engine.
Because ammonia is carbon-free, it has attracted attention as a
fuel with the potential to contribute significantly to reducing GHG
emissions in the maritime industry, and it is expected to be
utilized in the future as a source of stable, clean energy. To
unlock the potential of ammonia, Amogy has developed an innovative
ammonia-to-electrical power system that splits, or “cracks,” liquid
ammonia into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen, which then
funnels the hydrogen into a fuel cell, generating high-performance
power. MSB will promote the decarbonization of the maritime
industry, realize a carbon-neutral society, and contribute to the
reduction of environmental impacts on a global scale by continuing
to develop marine ammonia handling systems, such as fuel supply
systems for a wide range of ammonia fuel consumers include this
collaboration for onboard hydrogen production and utilization.
