JGC Partners with Amogy for Advancing Ammonia Cracking Technology
Key Ideas
  • JGC collaborates with Amogy, a U.S.-based startup, to accelerate the development of large-scale ammonia cracking technology, reducing hydrogen production costs.
  • Amogy's low ruthenium content catalyst enhances ammonia conversion efficiency into hydrogen at a lower temperature, promising higher efficiency and reduced production costs.
  • The partnership aims to strengthen JGC's position in hydrogen technology by utilizing innovative solutions like Amogy's catalyst, paving the way for a competitive hydrogen supply chain globally.
  • Both JGC and Amogy express excitement about the collaboration, with JGC focusing on designing and developing the process for large-scale hydrogen production and Amogy seeing this project as a major achievement for their catalyst technology in the hydrogen industry.
JGC Holdings Corporation in Yokohama, Japan, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with U.S.-based startup Amogy to incorporate Amogy's catalyst in the development of large-scale ammonia cracking technology. This collaboration, part of NEDO's project for a competitive hydrogen supply chain, aims to enhance efficiency and reduce costs in hydrogen production. Amogy's catalyst allows for efficient ammonia conversion into hydrogen at a lower temperature, which is expected to optimize the overall system, leading to competitive production costs. The partnership also highlights JGC's commitment to exploring innovative technologies for carbon-neutral hydrogen production. The integration of Amogy's catalyst is a crucial step in advancing the clean hydrogen-ammonia supply chain globally. JGC plans to conduct FEED for a demonstration plant within the fiscal year 2025, utilizing Amogy's catalyst to achieve low CAPEX hydrogen production technology. The collaboration signifies a strategic move by JGC to strengthen ties with companies offering cutting-edge solutions for large-scale hydrogen production. Executives from both JGC and Amogy have expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the potential of Amogy's catalyst to revolutionize ammonia cracking and contribute significantly to the hydrogen industry's evolution.
