Amogy and Hoku Infrastructure have partnered to identify opportunities to integrate Amogy’s proprietary ammonia-to-power technology within Hoku-developed projects in Japan and Asia, with a particular focus on data centers. By incorporating Amogy’s ammonia-cracking catalysts into future projects with hydrogen-fed fuel cells and/or engines, distributed power generation can be achieved for data centers, industrial facilities, and other off-grid applications.
Countries across Asia have been on the leading edge of evaluating how ammonia can serve as a practical, scalable zero-carbon fuel. Amogy has been proud to support this effort, and partnering with Hoku will enable us to expand our footprint and impact in JapanBy combining Hoku’s project development expertise, including critical sectors like data centers, with Amogy’s unique ammonia-to-power solution, we can establish strong pathways for future commercial deployment.
Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy, in his organisation’s official press release, 25 Mar 2026
Hoku is committed to advancing next-generation energy infrastructure that supports the global energy transition and digital economy expansion. Partnering with Amogy allows us to assess how ammonia-based power systems can be integrated into future energy projects and support a reliable, low-carbon power supply.

Hoku “bridges Watts and Bits”, connecting ammonia and other zero or low-carbon energy sources with data centers, semiconductor facilities, and digital industries that require dispatchable and flexible power generation.
GHD: ammonia offers a pathway to sustainable behind-the-meter data centers

With the data center sector rapidly scaling worldwide, ammonia power solutions represent a potentially simpler pathway to low carbon facility operations compliant with local regulations. In its whitepaper published last year, GHD found that behind-the-meter ammonia power generation represented a “practical middle ground” solution in the USA, backing up wine and solar generation. Based on modelling of an integrated renewable energy generation, electrolysis and ammonia production system:
Ammonia-based systems take a different path [to Natural gas plants with carbon capture and sequestration]. They generate power with zero operational carbon emissions, no need for CCS infrastructure and fewer regulatory complications. That’s a major plus for data center operators, especially as environmental disclosure requirements grow more stringent.
In our modeled system, ammonia-fueled gas turbines helped drive the facility’s carbon intensity down to just 3 grams of CO2 per kilowatt-hour — more than 100 times cleaner than most natural gas setups.
