On the Way to Commercialization, Amogy's Ammonia-to-Power System Receives Approval in Principle (AiP) from Lloyd's...
- Amogy's novel ammonia-to-power system passed initial safety reviews with Lloyd's Register, a key step in development for use in maritime vessels
- Approval in Principle for Amogy's ammonia cracking technology advances the company's scaleup efforts to provide zero-emission power to ships
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amogy Inc., a pioneer of emission-free, energy-dense ammonia power solutions has received Approval in Principle (AiP) from Lloyd's Register, a maritime classification society responsible for ensuring new maritime technologies meet safety requirements. This accomplishment represents a significant milestone in certifying Amogy's ammonia-to-power system for maritime applications, which will be demonstrated for the first time in a maritime vessel in 2023.
The AiP covers an ammonia power system that generates electricity from liquid ammonia to power maritime vessels. This is achieved by cracking the liquid ammonia to hydrogen, and using the produced hydrogen to generate electrical power through proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Following this achievement, Amogy will continue the technology qualification and type approval processes, which would make the ammonia-to-power system fit for use on maritime vessels.
Amogy, backed by investors including Amazon, SK, and Saudi Aramco, has plans for a world-first zero-emission, ammonia-powered maritime demonstration in 2023. This follows previous successful demonstrations of this technology in a drone and a tractor. Furthermore, Amogy is working with industry partners across the ammonia and shipping value chains to evaluate its power solutions for commercial use in upcoming newbuild and retrofit vessels. This AiP will strengthen the company's position to commercialize this technology.
