In a pilot project to demonstrate the potential of ammonia-fueled systems for stationary power generation at construction sites, Terox has ordered Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system.
The 400 kW version of Amogy’s proprietary technology will be installed in a 20 ft container. It will be deployed to generate off-grid electricity to charge a battery bank which will in turn charge Terox’s onsite fleet of electric construction vehicles.
In Amogy’s system, ammonia cracking technology is used to generate hydrogen, which feeds into a fuel cell to generate clean electricity at the point of use. So far Amogy has demonstrated the technology to power a drone, a tractor, a semi-truck and (in an upcoming demonstration) a tugboat, but this announcement marks the first non-vehicle application.
We are excited to be a part of this pilot project. Together with Amogy, we are looking forward to showcasing the viability of ammonia-based power systems and contributing to the decarbonization of the construction industry.
Kjell Vidar Hamre, Managing Director at Terox, in Amogy’s official press release, 17 April 2024
We are delighted to be working together with Terox, a company that shares our vision and values, on this first-of-a-kind project in Norway.

Subject to successful demonstration, Terox will look to deploy the system across its operations. Adopting ammonia-based systems would be important as construction sites typically use diesel generators or the grid. AFC Energy is also targeting the construction site market with its modular, ammonia cracking-based system.
Amogy & Hanwha: newbuild ammonia-fueled vessels
Amogy’s technology will also be deployed into Hanwha Ocean’s commercial ammonia-powered vessels. In this three-way partnership, expected to commence this year, Amogy’s technology will be combined with Hanwha Aerospace’s hydrogen fuel cell system to provide propulsion for offshore vessels. Amogy is pursuing similar partnerships with Green Ships Invest and Azane Fuel Solutions in Norway, Marco Polo Maritime in Singapore, and Southern Devall in the USA.
By combining our ammonia-to-power technology with Hanwha Ocean’s industry-leading shipbuilding capabilities and Hanwha Aerospace’s fuel cell system expertise, we are setting a new standard for clean energy in the maritime sector.
