Amogy and Hy2gen Norway partner up to speed up the transition of ammonia-based solutions
Amogy and Hy2gen Norway have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation in green ammonia. The agreement includes cooperation to promote the use of green ammonia as maritime fuel, participation in joint development projects and ensure safe use of ammonia on board vessels.
Linking the entire value chain

Amogy and Hy2gen have a significant insight into the ammonia-to-power value chain. Amogy's Powerpack technology turns ammonia into hydrogen in an emission-free way. Hy2gen builds and operates renewable ammonia plants for implementation in the maritime industry.
Hy2gen's expertise and projects are crucial for linking the entire value chain and ensuring the supply of renewable ammonia. Our cooperation also aims to raise awareness of ammonia's high energy density and role as an efficient energy carrier, says Christian W. Berg, managing director of Amogy Norway.
Amogy's technology for converting ammonia into energy aims to decarbonise sectors that are demanding, including shipping and heavy transport. Amogy's scalable solution has been tested in a drone, in a tractor and in a semi-trailer. Maritime industry is next when Amogy introduces ammonia as an energy carrier on board ships. The technology is now scaled to 1 MW for application in a tugboat. This is important to show the scalability of the technology and is a step towards a commercialisation of ammonia-to-power technology for the global maritime market.
Infrastructure in the North Sea
Hy2gen Norge is the subsidiary of Hy2gen AG, the global developer, builder and operator of renewable hydrogen and hydrogen-based e-fuel plants. Hy2gen is one of three partners in the Iverson eFuels project in Sauda that is working to secure green ammonia to the maritime fleet along the 2000-kilometre-long Norwegian coast. The infrastructure along the ports in the North Sea makes it natural for Hy2gen Norway to focus on the maritime industry both as customers and as transport to other markets mainly in Europe.
–We need cooperation along the entire value chain to accelerate the transition from fossil to renewable fuels. Amogy represents a promising technology for the efficient utilisation of ammonia as a fuel, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to facilitate ammonia as an emission-free fuel in the shipping industry, says Hege Ekland, managing Director of Hy2gen Norway.
