Amogy is developing an ammonia-to-power system where liquid ammonia is cracked through a highly efficient ammonia-cracking technology to produce hydrogen “on-demand”.  The hydrogen is then fed into a fuel cell system which in turn powers electric motors.

Amogy has already demonstrated their system in heavy-duty applications and now plans to demonstrate it in the first-ever ammonia-to-power vessel, a tugboat. The ammonia-to-power system can be used for retrofitting existing fleets and is considered a milestone to reach zero-emission shipping, as ammonia is predicted to become a future leading fuel source for the world’s giant cargo ships.

“Hydrogen leak detection in a safety system is a critical function and we are happy to see that Insplorion’s leak detection sensor could be an enabler for safe ammonia-cracking applications. This is fully in line with our vision of enabling an accelerated transition to a sustainable future” says Johan Rask, CEO at Insplorion.
