In an exclusive interview with SAFETY4SEA, Dr. Stone Zhang, Managing Director at Amogy, highlighted the growing importance of alternative fuels in the maritime industry, particularly focusing on ammonia. Amogy aims to utilize its ammonia 'cracking' technology to convert liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, emphasizing its role in achieving global net zero goals by 2050. Collaborating with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, Amogy has conducted feasibility studies on ammonia-powered maritime solutions, showcasing the potential for ammonia to be a prominent fuel in the industry. The interview also discusses how ammonia's share in the bunker fuel mix could surpass 40% by 2050, with forecasts suggesting it could become the most common marine fuel by then. Despite current cost challenges, the increasing demand for ammonia-fueled ships is expected to bring costs down, offering economic benefits to ship operators. Regulatory hurdles, such as the need for more ammonia bunkering infrastructures, remain a challenge that industry players like Amogy are actively working to address.
