First pilot plant deployment of Amogy’s low ruthenium content catalyst marks milestone in scaling ammonia cracking for clean hydrogen manufacturing
Amogy, a provider of mature, scalable, and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, declared the primary pilot plant deployment of its advanced ammonia cracking catalyst with JGC Holdings Corporation (JGC), a global engineering enterprise based in Japan.
This settlement is a main aspect of a pilot venture designed to enhance large-scale ammonia cracking technology for low-carbon hydrogen manufacturing. The milestone underscores ammonia’s growing role as a vital enabler of the global hydrogen economy.
JGC selected Amogy’s low ruthenium content material catalyst to be used in its ammonia cracking demonstration task as part of its participation in a broader ambition by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to set up a aggressive hydrogen deliver chain. In addition to offering the catalyst, Amogy will offer aid to make certain optimal overall performance and reliability in large-scale operations.
The venture goals to grow and improve a large-scale hydrogen manufacturing system utilizing ammonia cracking technology. While small-scale ammonia cracking technologies had been commercialized, increasing energy efficient processes stays a challenge. This ambition seeks to bridge that gap via operating element technologies and system optimization. Working along partners, JGC will lead the design and development of the large-scale ammonia cracking system.
“This first pilot plant deployment of our ammonia cracking catalyst depicts a major success for Amogy and a advancement for the hydrogen industry,” stated Seonghoon Woo, CEO and co-founder of Amogy. “We are proud to make a contribute to this advanced venture and play a critical role in the development of large-scale hydrogen production using ammonia as a carrier. Our catalyst technology will help enhancing the efficiency and price-effectiveness of ammonia cracking, a main element in constructing a competitive hydrogen deliver chain.”
“Large scale ammonia cracking technology is one of the remaining elements to be evolved and commercialized to realize clean hydrogen-ammonia deliver chain globally at industrial scale,” stated Masahiro Aika, Executive Vice President and Technology Commercialization Officer of JGC Holdings. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Amogy to enhance JGC’s ammonia cracking method by utilizing Amogy’s low ruthenium content catalysts.”
