Samsung Heavy Industries will manufacture Amogy ammonia-to-power systems to be deployed in the Pohang project, a partnership seeking to integrate Amogy’s technology with HD Hyundai’s hydrogen engine for power generation. From Seonghoon Woo and Seungmin Kim, Commercial Project Execution – ammonia-to-power solutions in Pohang, South Korea (Oct 2025).

Amogy and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have entered a strategic manufacturing partnership which will see SHI manufacture Amogy’s ammonia-to-power systems in South Korea. As part of the agreement, SHI will, through a Task Force tailored to this project, set up a dedicated facility by expanding its existing ammonia demonstration facility at the Geoje Shipyard by the end of 2025. The facility will be used for the production and testing of Amogy’s systems.

With SHI having made a strategic investment in Amogy in December last year, the new multi-year partnership extends an already-existing collaboration between the two companies. The parties will also work to further optimise Amogy’s ammonia-to-power modules for application to both on-land and maritime energy generation.

The Amogy-SHI partnership will prioritise the manufacturing of systems to be supplied to Amogy’s pilot project in Pohang in 2026. The Pohang project is a power generation partnership among Amogy, HD Hyundai Infracore (HDI), GS Engineering and Construction (GS E&C) and Pohang-si, the largest city in South Korea’s Gyeongsang Province. The project aims to integrate Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology with HDI’s HX22 hydrogen engine for power generation. The project will initially target a 1 MW version of the system, before scaling up to 40 MW capacity by 2028 – 2029. The Pohang project was presented at our recent AEA Annual Conference in Houston in October this year.

Strengthening an already-existing partnership, a consortium comprising South Korean EPC firm GS Engineering and Construction (GS E&C) and other GS Companies such as XPLOR and GS Futures has recently made a $15 million strategic investment in Amogy. This investment means Amogy has raised a total of about $100 million in the past year, and about $315 million since inception.

Amogy’s modular and scalable technology uses proprietary ammonia-cracking catalysts for efficient hydrogen production. The hydrogen feeds into a fuel cell or an engine for carbon-free distributed power generation.

Samsung Heavy Industries has the world’s most advanced manufacturing and production capabilities, and partnership with them to manufacture our systems is a significant step forward for Amogy. With SHI’s expertise, we can ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of our systems as we accelerate commercialization – advancing decarbonization across both land and sea.

We want to contribute to creating an eco-friendly fuel ecosystem by cooperating with Amogy in technology scale-up and manufacturing/production. We will continue to seek long-term cooperation with Amogy.

Lee Ho-gi, MD of Samsung Heavy Industries Eco-friendly Research Center, in Amogy’s official press release, 12 November 2025

This investment goes beyond a simple financial participation — it represents a strategic collaboration to build a carbon-free ammonia energy ecosystem together with Amogy. GS E&C aims to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality both in Korea and abroad through hydrogen and ammonia-based energy transition projects, and to realize our ESG vision of creating a sustainable society through carbon-free energy technologies.
