FAQs
Power needs are evolving quickly, and ammonia-to-power is opening new possibilities. We’re here to help you find answers.
Where does the name Amogy come from? And how do you pronounce it?
Amogy is an abbreviation or "portmanteau" of two words: ammonia and energy. We pronounce Amogy “Am-uh-gee".
Who founded Amogy?
Amogy was founded in 2020 by four MIT PhDs: Seonghoon Woo, Young Suk Jo, Jongwon Choi, and Hyunho Kim.
Where is Amogy located?
Amogy is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, with additional locations in Houston, Texas; and Seoul, South Korea.
What is ammonia? Why did you choose it as a fuel?
Ammonia (NH3) consists of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms and is one of the most commonly produced industrial chemicals. Ammonia has higher energy density than other alternative fuels, is carbon free, and the infrastructure is widely available. Learn more about why we chose ammonia here.
What is Amogy’s technology?
Amogy’s proprietary ammonia cracking technology is mature, scalable, and a highly efficient method for splitting ammonia, generating hydrogen used to produce electrical power. Designed for scalability and real-world deployment, the technology supports applications in power generation, heavy industry, maritime, and more.
What is Amogy’s product?
Amogy provides ammonia-to-power systems that deliver reliable, scalable power. We also supply our ammonia cracking catalysts, which provide leading reforming activity.
Has the technology been demonstrated in real-world applications?
What industries does Amogy support?
Amogy supports power generation (including data centers), maritime, and heavy industry.
What is the Amogy tugboat?
The NH3 Kraken is the world’s first zero-carbon ammonia-powered tugboat. The vessel was retrofitted with Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system and successfully demoed along the Hudson River. Read more here.
How does Amogy help customers transition to ammonia-to-power?
Amogy partners with customers to evaluate, deploy, and scale ammonia-to-power solutions tailored to their operational needs. Our modular systems deliver reliable, dispatchable power while improving energy resilience, increasing fuel flexibility, and accelerating deployment for applications where speed-to-power is critical.
How quickly can you deliver ammonia-to-power applications?
Deployment timelines vary by application and project requirements, but Amogy's modular ammonia-to-power systems are designed to accelerate deployment compared to traditional power infrastructure. Unlike conventional power infrastructure, ammonia-based power systems can be deployed in as little as 12 months, providing reliable, dispatchable energy where grid capacity and turbine supply can't keep pace.
What applications are best suited for ammonia-to-power?
Amogy's solutions are designed for applications where reliable, dispatchable power and speed-to-power are critical, including:
-
Data centers
-
Distributed power generation
-
Microgrids
-
Maritime
-
Heavy industry
-
Remote and off-grid operations
Can Amogy support AI and data center power demand?
As AI workloads continue to drive unprecedented electricity demand, data center developers are increasingly focused on securing reliable power quickly. Amogy's modular ammonia-to-power systems are designed for applications where speed-to-power, operational resilience, and deployment flexibility are critical.
Is ammonia safe to use as a fuel?
Ammonia has been safely produced, transported, and used in industrial applications for decades. Like any industrial fuel, it requires appropriate handling and safety protocols, supported by established regulations and infrastructure.
