Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, a division of Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has successfully conducted a feasibility study in collaboration with Amogy, a company specializing in scalable ammonia-to-power services. The study focused on the design concepts for onboard hydrogen production and ammonia utilization, leveraging proprietary ammonia-cracking technology and the Mitsubishi Ammonia Supply and Safety System. Amogy and Mitsubishi had previously signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the feasibility of an ammonia fuel supply system. The recent study aimed to validate two collaboration concept designs: a power train combining ammonia cracking and a hydrogen fuel cell for ships, and a hydrogen supply facility for supplying hydrogen to ammonia fuel engines as a pilot fuel. Amogy's CEO, Dr. Seonghoon Woo, emphasized the potential of ammonia as a carbon-free and highly energy-dense fuel. He highlighted its advantages such as easy transportability, liquid state at room temperature, and competitive pricing per megajoule compared to other future fuels. The company has developed an innovative system that converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, subsequently powering a fuel cell to generate electricity. Unlike conventional marine fuels, Amogy's technology integrates a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell with reforming technology to facilitate the conversion of ammonia to hydrogen for electricity production. The company has successfully scaled this technology, demonstrating its application in different vehicles, including drones, tractors, and semi-trucks. The partnership between Mitsubishi and Amogy signifies a commitment to advancing marine ammonia handling systems for a broader range of ammonia fuel consumers. This collaboration aims to drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions in the maritime industry, with ammonia emerging as a promising transition fuel due to its environmental benefits, high energy density, and cost-effectiveness.
