Pherousa Green Technologies has announced that its ammonia cracking-based maritime propulsion system will now enter a two-year pilot testing and deployment program. Pherousa will look to deploy its system on a series of 63,000 dwt Ultramax dry bulk carriers, with the first vessel to officially launch in 2030.
As part of the new MoU, A*STAR will join Amogy in R&D on ammonia cracking catalysts, develop digital tools and workforce training programs for scale-up, and eventually demonstrate one of Amogy’s ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island.
Lotte Fine Chemical will supply, transport and store clean ammonia fuel for GS E&C and Amogy’s distributed power generation demonstration project in Pohang. Hear directly from the project leaders at our upcoming annual conference in Houston.
At the recent GasTech event in Italy, new agreements were signed for the development and execution of floating ammonia cracking (MOL and KBR), gas-based ammonia production (SBM Offshore), and renewable electricity-based ammonia production (H2Carrier).
First Ammonia Motors has successfully demonstrated a pure ammonia-fed V8 engine, which utilises proprietary onboard heat recycling and ammonia cracking technology to generate hydrogen as a combustion co-fuel.
A new joint venture between AFC Energy and Industrial Chemicals Group will use AFC Energy’s proprietary ammonia cracking technology to produce and deliver high purity hydrogen to the UK market at competitive prices.
After installation by early 2027, the pilot system will provide power at a large industrial electricity consumer facility. The pair then aim to scale and rollout ammonia-to-power solutions across Taiwan’s significant high-tech and manufacturing sector.
Ammonigy, Heraeus Precious Metals and the Technical University of Darmstadt have partnered to demonstrate operations using cracked ammonia fuel in a four-stroke MAN test engine. The performance and efficiency of the test engine when running on ammonia-hydrogen fuel was comparable to natural gas operations, and use of an exhaust aftertreatment system reduced potentially harmful nitrogen-based emissions to near-zero levels.
Ammonia cracking tech provider Ammonigy and leading German brick manufacturer Juwö Poroton led the project, successfully demonstrating a pilot-sized brick kiln that runs on cracked ammonia fuel gas. The cracked ammonia-fired bricks were virtually “indistinguishable from bricks fired with natural gas”.
