Amogy and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Collaborate on Maritime Hydrogen Solutions
Key Ideas
- Amogy and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding have completed a feasibility study on hydrogen production for maritime use, incorporating ammonia-cracking technology and ammonia supply systems.
- The collaboration aims to align with IMO's goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions in the maritime sector by 2050, focusing on ammonia as a carbon-neutral fuel source.
- Amogy's patented ammonia-cracking technology and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding's commitment to decarbonizing the maritime industry highlight a joint effort towards global environmental sustainability.
- Both companies are supported by a network of investors and have a strong presence in the industry, emphasizing innovation, efficiency, and carbon neutrality in their energy solutions.
Amogy, specializing in advanced, scalable ammonia-to-power solutions, and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (MSB), a division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have concluded a feasibility study on collaborative onboard hydrogen production and utilization. The study integrated Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology with Mitsubishi's Ammonia Supply and Safety System (MAmmoSS®). The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to conduct further feasibility studies on an ammonia fuel supply system that aligns with the International Maritime Organization's goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector by 2050. The focus is on assessing the feasibility of integrating ammonia cracking and hydrogen fuel cells for ships, as well as establishing a hydrogen supply facility for ammonia fuel engines. Ammonia is highlighted for its carbon-neutral properties, presenting a viable option to reduce GHG emissions in maritime operations. Amogy's innovative system converts liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen through cracking, providing a clean energy source for power generation. Mitsubishi Shipbuilding is dedicated to advancing decarbonization in the maritime industry, aiming to develop marine ammonia handling systems for various applications. Supported by investors like Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Amogy and MSB demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and efficiency in their energy solutions. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with a long history and global presence, emphasizes the importance of technology and expertise in achieving carbon neutrality and promoting safety worldwide.
