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.
