ABS has issued New Technology Qualification (NTQ) for an innovative ammonia-to-electrical power system from Amogy.
ABS assessed the integrated reactor system transforming ammonia into hydrogen resulting in pure hydrogen gas that can be utilized for fuel cells. As explained, the Amogy ammonia-to-electrical power system splits, or “cracks,” liquid ammonia into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen, funneling the hydrogen into a fuel cell generating high-performance power.
Amogy’s new technology is another example of the rapid development of innovation around alternative fuels for maritime use. Cracking ammonia to produce hydrogen for fuel cells is one that has the potential to accelerate the energy transition in the maritime industry, supporting global decarbonization goals

To remind, Amogy has also been awarded a feasibility statement by Lloyd’s Register (LR). Furthermore, in late April 2024, Hanwha Ocean, Amogy, and Hanwha Aerospace announced a partnership aimed at the deployment of Amogy’s zero-emission ammonia-to-power technology for ammonia-powered vessels.
This achievement marks a significant milestone on our path toward broader industry adoption of our technology, highlighting the safety, viability, and maturity of our ammonia-powered solution. We are excited to further collaborate with ABS as we advance through the new technology qualification process.
