Amogy and A*STAR Collaborate on Ammonia-Based Technologies in Singapore

Strategic Insights -

Amogy, a provider of scalable and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, and the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), Singapore's lead public sector R&D agency, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore and collaborate on the development and deployment of ammonia-based technologies in Singapore. The collaboration aims to support key priorities under the Singapore government's National Hydrogen Strategy and A*STAR's efforts in sustainable energy and chemicals.

Key Takeaways:

  • Amogy and A*STAR will collaborate on piloting ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island, with A*STAR providing expertise in safety and standards, assessing costs and sustainability, and developing new technologies to scale ammonia-to-power systems safely and effectively.
  • The collaboration will focus on demonstrating ammonia-to-power systems, joint R&D on advanced ammonia-cracking catalyst technologies, and developing digital tools and workforce training for system integration and scale-up.
  • The partnership aims to validate the performance of clean ammonia technologies in real-world conditions and drive their transition from lab-scale to commercial applications, particularly in the decarbonisation of Singapore's data centre industry.
  • Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy, stated that "We are excited to partner with A*STAR to demonstrate the potential of ammonia-powered technology in Singapore."
  • Professor Lim Keng Hui, Assistant Chief Executive, Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), A*STAR, noted that "By advancing technologies for low- or zero-carbon ammonia for power generation and bunkering, we can help pave the way to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries."

Statistics:

  • The collaboration aims to support Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy and A*STAR's efforts in sustainable energy and chemicals.
  • Amogy provides carbon-free energy solutions to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like power generation, maritime shipping, and heavy industry.
  • Amogy's patented ammonia cracking technology offers a mature, scalable, and highly efficient method for splitting ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen.
