Wedoany.com Report-Nov. 14, US ammonia power specialist Amogy has entered a multi-year strategic partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) to manufacture ammonia-to-power systems in South Korea. The collaboration will focus on both maritime and land-based power generation solutions.

Under the agreement, SHI will establish a dedicated facility to produce and test Amogy’s systems. The partnership will begin with units for a pilot clean power project in Pohang, scheduled for 2026. This deal builds on the companies’ existing relationship, following SHI’s investment in Amogy in December 2024. Other investors in Amogy include Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, SK Innovation, Aramco Ventures, Mitsubishi Corporation, BHP Ventures, and AP Ventures.

Beyond manufacturing, the partnership will continue developing next-generation ammonia-based power systems for ships and distributed energy applications. Amogy’s technology converts ammonia into hydrogen on-site using an advanced catalyst system, which feeds a fuel cell or engine to produce zero-carbon power. Its modular design supports scalable deployment across industrial and marine sectors.

Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy, said: “Samsung Heavy Industries has world-class manufacturing and production capabilities, and this partnership marks a major step forward for Amogy as we move toward commercial-scale production. With SHI’s expertise, we can accelerate decarbonisation across both land and sea.”

Lee Ho-gi, managing director of SHI’s eco-friendly research center, added: “The collaboration will help expand South Korea’s role in developing an eco-friendly fuel ecosystem.”

SHI plans to establish testing and manufacturing standards, build process management systems, and expand its ammonia demonstration facility in Geoje by the end of 2025 to support production. The facility will ensure quality control and enable smooth scaling of Amogy’s systems for broader deployment.

The partnership reflects a growing trend in clean energy adoption, as ammonia-to-power technology is increasingly recognized as a viable zero-carbon solution for both industrial and maritime sectors. By combining Amogy’s technological expertise with SHI’s manufacturing capabilities, the collaboration aims to accelerate commercialisation and support energy transition goals.

Amogy and SHI’s joint efforts also include research into more efficient ammonia conversion and modular system design, aiming to reduce costs and enhance flexibility for diverse applications. The pilot project in Pohang will serve as a demonstration model for future industrial and marine deployments across South Korea and potentially international markets.

The initiative positions South Korea as a hub for eco-friendly fuel innovation, supporting both domestic energy transition objectives and the global push toward decarbonized power solutions. With modular, scalable, and zero-carbon systems, the partnership aims to deliver practical solutions for industries and shipping companies seeking low-emission alternatives.
