Amogy, a provider of mature, scalable, and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. (MSB), part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, have completed the feasibility study on collaboration concept designs for onboard hydrogen production and utilization. This involved Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology and Mitsubishi Ammonia Supply and Safety System (MAmmoSS®).
Amogy and MSB have concluded a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to conduct feasibility studies on an ammonia fuel supply system, aiming to support the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new target of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry by around 2050. The studies confirmed the feasibility of two collaboration concept designs: a power train combining ammonia cracking and hydrogen fuel cells for ships, and a hydrogen supply facility for supplying hydrogen as pilot fuel to ammonia fuel engines.
Ammonia, being carbon-free, has attracted attention as a fuel capable of significantly reducing GHG emissions in the maritime sector and is expected to become a stable, clean energy source in the future. To harness ammonia’s potential, Amogy has developed an innovative ammonia-to-electrical power system that breaks down liquid ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, channeling the hydrogen into fuel cells to generate high-performance power.
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. aims to decarbonize the maritime industry, achieve a carbon-neutral society, and globally reduce environmental impacts by advancing marine ammonia handling systems, including fuel supply systems for various ammonia fuel consumers, as part of this collaboration on onboard hydrogen production and utilization.
