Yanmar has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Amogy integrate Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology into Yanmar’s H2ICE hydrogen internal combustion engine.
Amogy, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based provider of ammonia-to-power solutions, uses catalyst materials to break down ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen at lower reaction temperatures with high durability, minimizing heating and maintenance requirements. The goal is to create a clean-energy solution for decarbonizing marine power.
“We are excited to work with Amogy on this innovative project,” Ken Kawabe, group leader at Yanmar’s research and development center, said in a statement. “Our commitment to a sustainable future aligns perfectly with this collaboration, and we believe that integrating Amogy’s ammonia-cracking technology with our H2ICE has immense potential for decarbonizing marine power.”
The collaboration began in 2023 with Yanmar’s corporate venture capital arm investing in Amogy.
“As pioneers in sustainable energy solutions, we are thrilled to collaborate with Yanmar in exploring the integration of our cutting-edge, ammonia-cracking technology with their hydrogen internal combustion engines,” Amogy CEO Seonghoon Woo said. “Collaboration is critical to advancing clean energy solutions, and together we can overcome challenges and expedite sustainable progress in the marine sector.”
