Kuala lumpur: Amogy, a provider of scalable and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore’s lead public sector R and D agency, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore and collaborate on the development and deployment of ammonia-based technologies in Singapore, supporting key priorities under the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, under the MOU, Amogy and A*STAR will explore opportunities for piloting ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island. The collaboration sits within A*STAR’s efforts in sustainable energy and chemicals. A*STAR plans to provide expertise in safety and standards, assess costs and sustainability, and develop new technologies to help scale ammonia-to-power systems safely and effectively. Amogy’s proprietary ammonia-to-power system leverages advanced catalyst materials to efficiently crack ammonia into hydrogen, which is then converted into electricity via hydrogen fuel cells or engines. This breakthrough approach is poised to present a viable and scalable low- to zero-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, particularly for energy-intensive sectors.
