New York-based Amogy Inc. and Singapore’s Trafigura will join forces to study the use of ammonia as a carrier to transport clean hydrogen from point of production to point of consumption, according to a press release.
The findings of this joint research aims to help support industry-wide efforts to decarbonize transport and heavy industrial processes and lower carbon emissions to meet global climate goals. The effort is focused on identifying and assessing scenarios in which ammonia cracking technology can be deployed to support the growing hydrogen market, starting with Europe, which is targeting 20 MTPA of hydrogen consumption by 2030.
Trafigura is looking at future low-carbon sources of energy including technologies that can enable the high-volume transportation of zero emission fuels.
Amogy’s ammonia-to-power platform features the company’s proprietary cracking technology that converts ammonia back into hydrogen. Following “successful demonstrations,” Amogy is now scaling up its technology for use in larger applications and pursuing strategic partnerships to support global decarbonization efforts, the release states.
