Kuala lumpur: Amogy, a United States-based company specializing in ammonia-to-power technologies, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR). The partnership aims to jointly develop and scale clean ammonia-based energy systems, aligning with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the National Hydrogen Strategy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the collaboration is a significant step toward advancing decarbonisation efforts in critical sectors such as data centres, while also supporting Singapore’s low-carbon ambitions. Amogy’s CEO, Seonghoon Woo, emphasized the importance of this partnership in achieving these goals.

ASTAR’s Assistant Chief Executive of the Science and Engineering Research Council, Professor Lim Keng Hui, highlighted the aim to help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors by advancing ammonia technologies for power generation and bunkering. The collaboration will explore pilot deployments of Amogy’s proprietary ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island, targeting energy-intensive sectors like data centres and heavy industry.

The initiative will also involve joint research and development into advanced ammonia-cracking catalysts, the development of digital integration tools, and workforce training for large-scale deployment. Amogy’s technology utilizes a high-efficiency cracking process to extract hydrogen from ammonia, which can then be used in fuel cells or engines to produce zero-carbon electricity, offering a scalable alternative to fossil fuels. ASTAR will provide expertise in safety standards, cost assessments, and technology scaling, focusing on real-world validation and commercial readiness.

This collaboration highlights Singapore’s ongoing investment in clean energy innovation and strengthens its position as a regional hub for low-carbon technologies.
