New York City, USA – June 10, 2021 – Amogy Inc., a developer of ammonia-based emission-free, high energy-density power solutions, today announced the close of a major funding round. Led by AP Ventures, a significant investor in breakthrough hydrogen technologies, the round included San Francisco-based funds DCVC and Collaborative Fund and investor Shaun Arora. Proceeds will be used for the first commercial demonstration of the high-performance clean mobility powered by ammonia.
Transportation accounts for 17% of global and 32% of the US greenhouse gas emissions. As the world transitions to net zero, solutions will be needed which remove carbon from the transportation sector. Businesses are looking for ways to decarbonize and are investing in low-carbon transportation options. Batteries and hydrogen fuel cells offer part of the answer, but for weight and volume-constrained applications such as heavy-duty ground/sea/air transportation, it will be critical to find solutions with high energy density which deliver zero-emission power, without compromising on performance.
Ammonia as an energy carrier offers a compelling solution for these applications, due to its significantly higher energy density than batteries or conventional gaseous hydrogen storage. However, to date, ammonia as an energy carrier has been under-explored due to the lack of technology that can efficiently extract energy from ammonia in a constrained space. Amogy’s technology unlocks the potential of ammonia for mobility applications by providing a highly efficient, lightweight, compact ammonia processor.
Amogy’s solution can deliver zero carbon and high-performance mobility in several commercial markets, including UAVs, off-road vehicles, and marine and air transportation, accelerating our journey toward the net-zero economy.
“Our core mission is to enable clean transportation in all spaces using our technology, solving one of the most difficult problems for the net-zero. Our ammonia-oriented solution will provide emission-free power for mobilities in the areas where batteries and gaseous hydrogen can’t be adopted, working together to expedite the decarbonization in transportation sectors. We thank all investors who participated in this round for joining our vision”, said Seonghoon Woo, CEO, and Co-founder of Amogy.
“We are delighted to have led this investment round for Amogy and to provide our support to the Amogy team from the company’s inception. As an established investor in the hydrogen industry, we understand the potential of this technology to revolutionize zero-carbon transport. Amogy’s unique miniaturized ammonia processor technology could be the disruptor this industry needs to unlock emission-free, long-range travel.” said Andrew Hinkly, Managing Partner at AP Ventures.
