Amogy renames its ammonia powered tugboat NH3 Kraken

Brooklyn, N.Y.-headquartered ammonia to power pioneer Amogy Inc. is getting nearer to trialing the world’s first ammonia powered tugboat on a tributary of the Hudson River. In preparation for that event it has renamed the 1957-built tugboat that it is converting to ammonia powering as the NH3 Kraken.

The NH3 Kraken will be the world’s first carbon-free, ammonia-powered vessel of any kind, according to Amogy.

Amogy CEO Seonghoon Woo led the renaming ceremony, which included the symbolic purging of...

NCL backs ammonia power with vessel orders

Norwegian regional operator North Sea Container Lines (NCL), which already ordered an ammonia powered vessel at the end of last year, has ordered a ground-breaking ship that uses new ammonia-cracking technology to power its latest newbuilding.

The company has ordered a 300 TEU vessel which will be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with the gas derived from an Amogy designed ammonia cracker that uses a catalyst to separate ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen on board the vessel.

The Amogy system...

Amogy ammonia-to-power solution gains ABS NTQ recognition

ABS has issued its New Technology Qualification (NTQ) for the innovative ammonia-to-electrical power system developed by Brooklyn, N.Y., headquartered Amogy.

The Amogy solution splits, or “cracks,” liquid ammonia into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen, funneling the hydrogen into a fuel cell generating high-performance power. The technology represents a sustainable, clean energy solution tailored for industries such as maritime shipping and power generation.

ABS granted the NTQ following...

Amogy: Don’t burn hydrogen, split ammonia instead

The future of hydrogen as a transportation fuel has numerous hurdles to climb, but one of the most basic is just how it gets used in an engine.

Most of the focus has been on the debate between combustion — using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine engineered for it — or injecting it into an onboard storage tank where it is then fed into a fuel cell. The fuel cell generates electricity and the waste product is water.

Both have environmental issues. Combustion of hydrogen creates problematic...
